As a former professional Regional and touring player on the PBA tour, it was always a goal of mine to perform at the highest level possible while constantly striving for improvement.
It was this persistence and interest for bettering oneself that led me to have an interest in coaching others.
I've had the opportunity to conduct and participate in numerous clinics throughout the United States. It has always been my intent and goal to assist bowlers of all skill levels to become the best that they can be through physical game development, equipment and lane play knowledge.
I've been fortunate to have coached many local and national professionals such as Ross Packard and Sam Carter (first two men inducted into the California State Hall of Fame) and Lynda Barnes (Women's National Tour Champion, former Team USA member and wife to Chris Barnes) as well as many top level amateurs.
