Bowling has been a part of my life since I was just three years old. Writing has been a second love I have had since first grade. I experienced collegiate bowling at Saint Xavier University, while also writing for The Xavierite. From Chicago, I aim to spread my joy for bowling and capture the passion others have for the sport. Let’s always move onward and never forget to reach for the sky.
