*WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A PART OF FIRST TEAM 717 SPONSOR GROUP? : It’s an Honor and Privilege. One of my best friends/ partner of mine shoots darts in the 717 area, Mark Fair. 

*WHO HAS TAUGHT YOU THE MOST IN THE SPORT OF DARTS? Chris Linkous/ Mark Fair. Mark and Chris are a major part of the reason I have been able to be successful in darts. Their friendships have proven to be some of the best I have ever had in the darting community. And because of that we have developed a camaraderie off of the dart board.

*HOW DO YOU MANAGE FAMILY, CAREER AND TRAVEL FOR DARTS? 
It’s a constant struggle. First and foremost is my family and career. Juggling my kids events and at the same time trying to schedule dart tournaments is a skill. Having great communication with my beautiful wife and patient ex-wife and being transparent with my children is what has allowed me to attend the tournaments I can. I have had to make the hard decisions to miss my children’s events due to tournaments that I needed to attend to qualify for bigger events and there have been times that I have had to cancel on partners because of family functions. It’s definitely a juggling act that I am still trying to master.
