I have played pinball since the early 70s.

I love the old EMs, the simple playfields, drop targets, spinners, rollovers and kick outs.

I have owned close to 30 machines with my current ones being Twightlight Zone ,STTNG, Star Trek Bally ,Taxi, Surf Champ, Target Aplha, Grand Prix EM , Metallica , Black Pyramid and Williams Pitch and Bat.

Of the new machines my Favorite is Metallica.

Bash item, in line drop targets, Ramps and interesting Multiballs with musical themes.

I have 20 current Videogame related World Records with Guiness, Twin Galaxies, Arucade and Record Setters and am I am Team member on the U.S National Videogame Team. I am on 7 Videogame Trading Cards - Twin Galaxies.

After taking 2 years traveling the counter rolling 100 Joust machines in 100 weeks and playing 50 hours straight at age 52, I set my sites on seeing how good an IFPA World Ranking I could obtain in 1 year. The ranking obtained was 271 at exactly 1 year.
