    I have only once or twice just in passing, but never really knew anything about him. He's a sophomore High School bowler in Apopka,Fl.

    Here's a story about him.

    I have never heard of him, but in the video they said he has bowled 58 perfect games! That is insane! And they say he has only been bowling for 6 years!

    I think there might be a bit of Billf in his story.

    He said he's only be bowling for 6 years, and had 50+ 300s in league, tourney, and practice.

    USBC has him listed for I believe 4 in sanctioned 300s.

    Seems like a lot of room to say hmmmm.

    I can say I have had many more 300's than what show on my record at USBC, but I don't go about bragging about them. Also plenty of 800 series as well.

    According to the orlando sentinel story beside the four sanctioned 300's The others were in non-sanctioned leagues or practice so there wouldn't be a record on bowl.com.
