In this episode of the Professional House Bowlers podcast, hosts Lee and Taylor sit down with Aaron Bohman for a deep dive into his unique bowling journey and his family's deep ties to the bowling community in Versailles. Aaron shares the rich history of his family's bowling center, McBo's , which was built in 1973 over the foundation of a burned-down skating rink and still proudly features its classic wood lanes.

Growing up homeschooled , Aaron missed out on traditional high school bowling programs. Instead, this path led him to join adult men's leagues at just 16 years old. He reflects on how he honed his skills by watching experienced local veterans and details his early tournament experiences—from subbing at the state tournament in Dayton to realizing he could turn a profit by entering brackets.

The conversation also covers the technical and administrative sides of the sport. Aaron explains his transition to 14-pound equipment to alleviate hip and knee issues , and he discusses his 16-year loyalty to MOTIV bowling balls because of their American-made manufacturing. Beyond his personal game, Aaron details his administrative roles, including his nine years of running the city tournament and serving as the local USBC association manager.

The crew wraps up by tackling broader bowling topics, such as the commitment required for modern 30-week leagues , the importance of succession planning for bowling center proprietors , and the wild story behind the taxidermy elks mounted on the walls of McBo's.
