I mainly just wanted to bowl at home. It's fun to bowl at home. Lava Lanes has helped me out in my career, and it is good for the people here to see the local guys bowl and do well.

I go into every tournament expecting to win. It was a little tougher here with the cross country travel, but I try to block all that out and just keep my mind and body at an even keel.

This is the first year one of the locals has closed the deal. I executed pretty well. I've made some changes for the better, and I'm still fine tuning them.
