From 2006 to 2011 he worked on growing the centers league play and open bowling business. As part of the learning process, studying the Family Entertainment market place was what he could envision for MaxBowl. Upon recommendation, to Max and Brittney in Oct 2011 they purchased a 60,000 square foot, 40 lane center in Port Arthur, Texas. Today MaxBowl Port Arthur has a 2500 square bar and grill, 45 video games with a redemption counter, birthday party rooms and a 3,800 square foot two story Laser Tag arena.
