People who know me know I\u2019m a mild mannered guy, a man of few words.<\/p>\n
So my comments will be brief. I don\u2019t have time for this anyway.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve got a million dollar payday to prepare for.<\/p>\n
I began throwing darts when I was fifteen years old. My brother Jimmy showed me the game. But it\u2019s Roger Barrera who I have to give credit for helping me develop my skills.<\/p>\n
Why have I stuck with darts? I don\u2019t know. Why does the sun come up in the east?<\/p>\n
I graduated in 1992 and work in construction. My first job was as a paper boy. I didn\u2019t like that. For a while I cut grass. I didn\u2019t like that either. My goal is to be world champion. That I\u2019d love.<\/p>\n
Twice I\u2019ve been national 501 champion. You should put money on me in the World Series of Darts (WSOD). You think I\u2019m kiddin\u2019?<\/p>\n
In the sport, I look up to Roger Carter but my hero in life is my daughter Summer. She\u2019s means everything to me and when I win the million dollars she\u2019s gonna have a great life.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s only one person out there who gives me a struggle from time to time. That\u2019s Brad Wethington. He\u2019s my doubles partner though so I\u2019m not really complainin\u2019.<\/p>\n
I practice a least an hour a day, religiously. My tournament schedule is packed. Everything I am doing is aimed at being ready for the WSOD. It\u2019s great for darts in America and the world.<\/p>\n
Why do you want to know about my most embarrassing moment? You know me. There\u2019s too many to list. But I won\u2019t be embarrassed in this tournament.<\/p>\n
I want to be remembered as I am, not as I was.<\/p>\n
I want to be remembered as a man who told it like it was.<\/p>\n
I want to be remembered as a man who loved his kids more than anything else in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
