ABOUT THE GREATER CINCINNATI BPA

The bowling business is unique in that our customers come to us with no expectations other than having fun.

Personal and Work History:

Cincinnati has always been home to me. My family lived in North College Hill and in 1960 my father built Colerain Bowl.
I graduated from Roger Bacon and the University of Notre Dame and later spent six years in the U.S. Army and working for the government. Part time work at the bowling center drew me into a recreational sport that would help to define a large portion of my life. In 1978 I began working full time at Colerain Bowl.

In 1999 I began working on a state project to integrate Bowling as an Ohio high school varsity sport and in 2006, Bowling was recognized by the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

After 30 years, I still find this work challenging and satisfying.

Current Bowling Responsibilities:
Treasurer of the GCBPA
President of the Greater Cincinnati USBC Youth Association
Majority owner of Cherry Grove Lanes.
