What’s your favorite Pro Series alley that you have bowled at and why?
Other than my home of Metro, I’d have to say Lucky Strike in Lynn.  I have always loved bowling there.  I like the old school feeling of the place.

What’s your favorite Pro Series format and why?
I’d say the random draw [doubles], because you have a chance to get paired up with a friend, or someone you don’t know, one of the game’s best, or a walk-in. It really makes things interesting because you have a huge chance of bowling with someone you’ve never bowled with or may not even know, as opposed to bowling with some you gel with easily.

Most memorable Pro Series moment?
The entire Ultimate Ladder tournament in Fitchburg. When Sammy [Dagostino] threw that 495, [Shawn] Baker hitting 505 for his first three ladder games, and [Scott] Lapierre hitting a 207 to win the tourney…  It was insane watching the bombs guys were throwing that day!

Best match you’ve been involved in outside the Pro Series?
The Tuesday night house league I bowl with Chris Powers.  We had this match last season where we were down by 60 going into the last two frames – he and I bowl third and fourth [on our four man team]. I was sitting on a strike, and Chris as well.  I hit a double, then a triple with a 9 fill and a spare, then Chris hits a double, 9, spare, strike. And we ended up winning the game by single digits. The looks on the faces of the people we bowled that night were priceless!
