I am a passionate bowler from Venezuela; grew up in a Bowling family! my father was a great Bowler back at home and also runs the Pro shop in my hometown, my grandfather was the mechanic in the 1st Bowling in the city, so it was really easy for me to be inside a center and enjoy the game in many ways since I was a little kid, my goal was to be part of the Venezuelan National Team and put a lot of energy on that! when my 1st dream came true, I realized that there was so much path to walk from there that I just couldn't resist keeping going! From there, I go around the world Bowling at any type of open event, having great moments of winning and learning around great athletes of our sports! From my experience, Bowling is the greatest thing that ever happened to me, and being able to have success in my passion is something words can't describe; also to be able to know many friends and share with bowling fans from many different cultures is one of my biggest satisfactions, I am so honored to do that, and is always my favorite stories to tell my family when I get back home.
