Bowling has always been a huge part of my life since I could remember. Growing up with a family that
bowled league two nights a week, you could always find my brothers and I inside of a bowling center
in the arcade, watching our parents bowl, or hitting the lanes ourselves once league was over. I've
been bowling since I was 3 years old and just something about pins flying across the deck and a
bowling ball cracking the pins when it enters the pocket is just something I can't live without.
I started getting into competitive bowling when I entered high school; where I bowled for Treasure
Coast High and ended up becoming a State Qualifier my freshmen year. As high school quickly came and
went, I decided to bowl at the Collegiate Level for Webber International University. I was able to
represent the school with a USBC Nationals Singles Finals show in 2014 and won 2 National
Championship Team Titles in 2017 (NAIA and USBC.)
Right after college, I pursued my lifelong dream of becoming a professional bowler and being out on
the PBA Tour full time. I won my first regional title shortly after graduating and it just shows
that with enough hard work, determination, and belief in your abilities, dreams do come true.
Besides bowling, I love to spend time with my two little pups and my amazing wife. Basketball lover and Pokemon Go enthusiast.
