Things I Didn’t Expect About Returning to Bowling After 30 Years

After more than 30 years away from competitive bowling, I’m discovering that some things have changed—and some things haven’t.

In this solo episode of We’re Not Stumped, I share three things that surprised me as I prepare for my return to competition at the 2026 PBA60 World Championship.

  •  The body doesn’t work quite the same at 61.
  •  Some instincts and memories never really leave.
  •  And one unexpected encounter reminded me that people still remember my days on the PBA Tour.

This episode isn’t about scores or equipment. It’s about rediscovering a part of my life I thought was behind me and finding out what’s still possible when you decide to take one more run.

As the first person with limb loss to compete on the PBA Tour, I hope this conversation encourages you to revisit a dream, try something again, or simply remember that it’s never too late to surprise yourself.
