Why did you move to Calgary from Victoria ? I moved to Calgary to improve my darts as I believe the only way to get better is to surround yourself with tough competition. In BC darts has slowed down a lot since I started in 1987.For me ,it was either move or quit playing darts, as I felt I had nothing to strive for in BC. It is nice to see darts in BC improving over the last couple years I am really looking forward to playing the Nationals in Victoria in 2005.

Are you self taught or did you get instruction from someone? I started out watching the pro's on video and practiced a lot my first 2 years,but after that Canadian Champion John Fallowfield took me under his wing and taught me the finer points of the game.
