Hello ALL!
My name is Dillan. I am from NJ. Born and raised.
A little bit about myself. I was born in the bowling business. My father has worked in the bowling business since he was 17. When I was born, he was working as a head mechanic at a bowling center called Erie Lanes in Philadelphia. My dad was a single parent, so I would spend 5 days a week in a bowling center. When I was old enough to join a junior league on Saturday mornings, that is what I did. At that point, I was living in Madison, NJ and my father was the head mechanic for a bowling center called Plaza Lanes. I bowled all the way through High School. Attended a high school 40 minutes from my house for the sole purpose that they had a bowling team. Played for my high school's Varsity bowling team all four years. Really had a blast. After high school, I moved to Jacksonville, FL and lost interest in the bowling business completely. I wanted no parts of it. The only interests I had were working, females, and females ;)
I moved back to New Jersey in August after spending two years in Florida. I came back to get involved in the bowling business again. As a career this time. I'm still not much interested in the bowling part of it , but I am interested in the career field. With that said, I got a job in a AMF house as a mechanic in Wilmington, DE a few days after returning to NJ. Since then , I have been involved in the Pro Shop part of things. I am fascinated by bowling Pro Shops. I think the entire idea of them is simply amazing. So, I started my own eBay store selling discounted Pro Shop items. At the moment, I have a small selection of things at discount prices because I am still starting out. But surely moving forward, and fast.
So that is a little about me. I am really looking forward to being involved in the threads and meeting a lot of great people. Also, I am really looking forward to learning new things and being able to share my current knowledge.
- Now, my father is a bowling part manufacturer. In simple form, he makes the parts to keep the machine running.
