My Story
I began my bowling journey at the age of 3, following my dad and sister into the alley on Sunday mornings for youth league. I would bowl 5-pin beside the lanes my father was coaching, watching the older kids were doing and trying my hardest to be like them
When I was old enough, I joined the youth league and never went back! I left youth bowling with many provincial and 3 national medals. As I progressed, I became more and more interested in the "how's and why's" of the game, which led me to pursue training for Pro Shop management. Helping bowlers has also allowed me to learn so much about game, and I have personally grown into a much better bowler, throwing 4-300 games and 5-800 series, winning a World Cup Provincial round gold medal, and on national TV in the Canadian Bowling Championships. As a coach, I have been part of 4 National Gold Medals for Team Northern Ontario.
I have drilled equipment for multiple provincial, national and international medalists. as well as amateaur tournament winners in Ontario, Manitoba, and Minnesota. with over 30 years of bowling and 15+ in the shop there isn't a lot I haven't seen in this sport, and I hope to my experience can help you get better too!
