- Family members who bowl: Older brother a billion years ago.
- Greatest influence in bowls and why: Heather Stewart, who sight unseen asked me in December of 2015 to bowl with her in a few (10) tournaments and had the confidence to have me lead for her teams from the get go. Thank You Heather. Also thank you to Maryna Hyland, Jan Hargraves, Melanie Vizenor, Dee McSparran and Eileen Lancendorfer for being willing to play with me while I was still a novice. Your encouragement has helped me greatly.
- Best player competed against and why: Anne Nunes, who in my opinion is the best player in the US. Each time I play her I learn something new and each time I play her I score more points.
- Goals/Aspirations for personal bowls career: To become one of the best leads in the USA.
- Goals/Aspirations outside of bowls: To be able to retire in a couple of years and travel a little more with my partner.
- Greatest bowls achievement: 2018 SWWD Pairs Championship with Eileen Lancendorfer. It was my first really big win. Second would be my 2017 SWWD Novice Singles win.
