ABOUT

As a young child, he harbored dreams of becoming an exceptional bowler—a dream that he not only fulfilled but surpassed. At the tender age of 18, he achieved his first perfect 300 game, a testament to his unwavering dedication. Swiftly, he secured his place as the youngest champion of the Youngstown Masters tournament—a title he would go on to win four more times, solidifying his prowess. His mastery extended to the Pittsburgh Bowlers Tour, where he clinched over 20 titles in singles, doubles, and team championships. The magnitude of his accomplishments is staggering, with a multitude of championships and top finishes that easily number in the hundreds. His bowling prowess transcends state boundaries, as he has secured tournament victories in 10 different states over the past 18 years. His exceptional skill and dedication were notably recognized by the Guinness World Records, which acknowledged him as the record holder for the most pin fall in a single hour—an impressive feat that amounted to 2078 pins. His impact on the lanes is undeniable, marked by an impressive 191 career 300 games and 146 career 800 sets. Despite his already remarkable achievements, it's evident that he's far from reaching his pinnacle, considering he's just 37 years old. His exceptional achievements earned him the Highest Average in the World award, boasting a remarkable 253 average over an extensive 93-game span. His accomplishments have been immortalized through his inclusion in esteemed institutions such as the Curbstone Coaches and Youngstown Men's Bowling Halls of Fame. His consistency and excellence have positioned him at the pinnacle of amateur bowling since January 2011, securing the coveted #1 ranking. His journey is a testament to his unwavering dedication, exceptional talent, and relentless pursuit of greatness.
