• volunteered as a coach for the Youth Junior program in Richmond from 2021-2022 • PBA Bowler since 2022 to present • Wanting to grow the sport and to help all ages improve their game on the lanes either it’s mental or physical
Whether you're new to bowling or an experienced player, my coaching is designed to meet you where you are. For newer bowlers, we'll focus on building strong fundamentals and proper body positioning. Developing good habits early creates consistency, improves accuracy, and gives you a solid foundation to grow your game. For more experienced bowlers, we'll work on advanced adjustments to help you increase your scores. This includes lane play, reading ball motion, making the right moves as the lanes transition, refining your release, improving spare shooting, and making smarter decisions throughout competition. My goal is to help every bowler understand not just what to do, but why they're doing it, so they can become more confident, consistent, and successful on the lanes.

If you want to improve your bowling game without feeling like you have to completely start over, you need to work with Chris. Not only is he an incredible bowler himself, he's also an exceptionally patient coach. What I appreciate most is that Chris doesn't try to force you into some rigid, 'textbook' style. Instead, he looks at how you naturally throw and finds smart, personalized tweaks to make you more consistent. He also has an incredible eye for reading the lanes. By watching your release and how your ball is reacting, he can tell you exactly when you need to adjust your feet and target, or when it's time to switch to a different ball to match the oil pattern. No matter your current skill level, you'll walk away from a session with Chris with more confidence, a better understanding of lane play, and a clear plan to raise your average.
Working with Chris has really helped with my bowling. He has so much patience as a coach, which made it easy to work through correcting my posture and release for a much better delivery. On top of that, he taught me how to observe my ball's reaction on the lane and make smart, real-time adjustments. Chris doesn't just tell you what to do—he patiently teaches you how to understand the game. My scores and my confidence have both improved immensely!
