Bowling has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started bowling at the age of 14, and that early passion quickly turned into a lifelong career within the bowling community. At just 14½ years old, I began my first job at Tava Lanes Bowl, where I worked from 1991 through 2004. I started as a pinchaser and, through dedication and hands-on experience, worked my way up to becoming an “A” mechanic.

​

Bowling truly runs in my family. My father spent most of his adult life working in bowling centers, which gave me early exposure to the technical, mechanical, and competitive sides of the sport. Over the years, I have earned certifications in bowling lane and pinsetter maintenance, giving me a strong technical foundation that directly benefits bowlers at every level.

​

In my mid to late 20s, I began drilling bowling balls, combining technical knowledge with on-lane experience to help bowlers find equipment that truly fits their game. While I took a brief step back during marriage and the early years of raising a family, my commitment to bowling never faded. Today, I am actively drilling bowling balls and working closely with bowlers to fine-tune their equipment and performance.

​

As a competitive bowler, I bring real-world experience to everything I do. I have rolled 36 perfect 300 games and achieved two 800 series, accomplishments that reflect consistency, precision, and a deep understanding of the game. Beyond competition, I genuinely enjoy coaching and mentoring both youth and adult bowlers, helping them grow in confidence, skill, and enjoyment of the sport.

​

Looking ahead, I plan to compete on the PBA50 Tour when I become eligible, continuing to challenge myself at the highest levels of the game.

​
