Maybe it’s different now, but I regret my time there. Learned more about life than about bowling. I wish I went somewhere that I was valued more. It’s not always sunshine and rainbows that the parents and fans see from social media.

I’m confused how he still has a job after looking at his player retention rate. At least 2 non-graduating players have left his team every year since the start of his program. That alone should say enough. He’s ruined the sport for so many. Sells these athletes the world on their visits and show his true colors the first month of school. I pity these girls and hope future recruits can see through his act before it’s too late.

Only go here if you never want to throw a ball again. Will ruin your game and interest in bowling. It’s a great school, just not someone I want to have my daughter around.

Does not care about players. Will continually lie to player’s and parents faces to get you to not transfer. Will play the people that donate the most money rather than the best players. Overcomplicates everything about bowling and will ruin your game if you don’t bowl the exact way he wants. Overall, a liar, manipulator, and bully. Do not send your howler to Mount St. Mary’s.
