About
I am one of only 30 United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Gold certified coaches in the world. I have over 40 years experience coaching bowlers at all levels and ages. I can help you reach your goals and I have numerous successful students that can vouch for my ability to help bowlers improve.
I am passionate about help people improve their bowling skills and gain new enjoyment of the sport! I am just as excited about helping a new bowler learn the basics as I am to expand the abilities of a touring professional.
Teaching this sport is not just a way to earn money - this is the heart and soul of what makes me go. Lessons with me are fun and comfortable - you will not feel intimidated and you will enjoy your experience!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
All my lessons are one hour. In a private lesson, I give the student time to warm up their body with dynamic stretching and rolling some shots to get loose. I video the student using either Hudl or the Strikeseeker system, we discuss goals for the lesson, review video and begin to work on changes. Physical changes are usually made during the first half of the lesson and mental game and lane play aspects of bowling are addressed during the second half of the lesson. A practice plan is prepared and emailed to the student at the conclusion of the lesson.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am one of only 30 USBC Gold certified coaches in the world.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My standard pricing for lessons in the Denver area is $90 per hour for adults, $60 per hour for juniors and $130 per hour for a group lesson of 2-4 students. A five-lesson package price is also available.

I started coaching junior bowlers when I was 19 and I've been coaching bowlers ever since!
