Hey guys, hows it going. Just found this site and figured I would introduce myself here really quick. My name is Mike Bauer, I am 23, and I live in Cocoa Beach, FL (where the shuttle launches for reference). I work at Kennedy Space Center drawing electrical systems for Ares I (the new rocket) and I am married. I have been bowling for a few years now and I am at the local center about 4 times a week. I started bowling in the 06-07 Winter season, and also started lessons at the same time. I currently average 211 and 203 in my two Winter Leagues, and I am still taking weekly lessons from Tom Blasco (One of the experts listed here on bowlingfans). Overall I have bowled in a few tournaments and one PBA experience league, and everything else has been on the house shot.

Yes I have. I don't know how I never found this site before, but I love it. I think asking questions and getting quick answers is the best way to learn, even when you are not at the lanes, so I will definitely be contributing to this site. Thanks for the comment!

Haha not a rocket scientist, I just design the electrical panels and cable runs. I am a drafter, so I get general plans from an engineer who decides what parts and equiptment they need, then its my turn to fit it all in the space they want it. Also, make sure everything will have clearance and all the cable runs will be able to mate without interference. So, no not a scientist haha.
