I have always loved bowling. I have been bowling since age 10. When younger I always wanted my own bowling alley at my house. I built a lane in my garage, granted it was much much shorter then a real lane and we only used 6 pins instead of 10 because it was faster to set up 6 then 10. My first job was at a bowling alley and I spent 7 years working at a 16 lane bowling alley. I had that dream of owning my own bowling center. I came across the mini bowling group on bowltech.com and got involved in the group. When Linds bowling shoes stopped making the half scale pins we used I stepped in with my own design. I just could not let the hobby die because we could not get mini pins any more.
