Superstitions: I really don't like to touch other people's darts unless I know them well. Same goes for mine, I carry two sets of darts, if they would like to try them, I hand them my second set.
Do you have a practice routine or favorite practice game: I typically just work on targets without playing a game, but if I do play a game, it is Cricket, with the occasional Bermuda with friends
Before a tournament or big match, what is your warmup routine: Typically, before a tournament I will spend around 10 minutes on 20's, then 10 minutes on bullseyes, then 3-5 minutes on each cricket number. Sometimes more, depending on how much time I have.
Can you share some words of wisdom for new players? In times of errors, do not feel embarrassed, because as much as some people disagree, every dart player makes a mistake that costs them a game or a match. It is part of the game, and you should use those errors as a learning lesson, especially with a continuously developing game that darts is with all kinds of play styles at certain times.
What is something you wish you’d see more of in darts?I would love to see more dartboards become popular in Illinois such as Phoenix and Dartslive.
