    WELCOME FRIENDS OF THE BOWLING AND FOODSERVICE INDUSTRY!
    MY NAME IS MATT HENDZELL (AKA~FOODMAN).  I HAVE BEEN A COMPETITIVE BOWLER FOR OVER 30 YEARS MOSTLY IN THE METRO DETROIT AREA.  I HAVE RECENTLY RE-LOCATED TO THE "GOOD SIDE OF THE STATE", RESIDING IN WYOMING MICHIGAN WHICH IS JUST MINUTES SOUTH OF GRAND RAPIDS.
    I ALSO HAVE 22 YEARS OF FOODSERVICE EXPERIENCE WHICH INCLUDES 9 YEARS OF RESTAURANT WORK.  I AM CURRENTLY A SALES MANAGER FOR A VERY LARGE FOOD DISTRIBUTOR HERE IN WESTERN MICHIGAN.
    "SO WHAT, WHO CARES?!", YOU ASK.  WELL HOPEFULLY THOSE OF YOU THAT FIND SICK PLEASURE  IN CONTINUALLY BORING YOUR FRIENDS  WITH CONVERSATION THAT DON'T BOWL OR COOK AS PASSIONATELY AS YOU DO!
    IF YOU ARE INTO BUSINESS NETWORKING WITHIN THE FOODSERVICE INDUSTRY OR LOOKING FOR SOME HELP OR IDEAS ON YOUR BOWLING GAME OR HOW TO THROW THE PERFECT BBQ PARTY FOR YOUR BOWLING CLOWN BUDDIES, THEN I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DROP ME A LINE!  I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
    NO!  I AM NOT A CERTIFIED CHEF.  NO!  I AM NOT A PRO BOWLER.  NOR DO I PROFESS TO BE (SOMETIMES I BELIEVE I AM A PRO BOWLER IN MY OWN MIND THOUGH)  BUT, I HAVE PICKED UP A FEW THINGS ALONG THE WAY IN MY 39 YEARS.
    I AM NOT A KNOW IT ALL(FOODMAN IS NOT A FAN OF THOSE TYPES).  I LEARN EVERYDAY FROM EVERYONE.  THAT IS WHY I WELCOME YOU TO MY PAGE.  SO I CAN GET BETTER AND HOPEFULLY HELP SOMEONE ELSE ALONG THEIR JOURNEY, WHATEVER IT MAY BE.
    I HAVE TWO PET PEEVES:  1. ONE HOUSE WONDER PITCH N PRAY TYPE BOWLERS WITH A BOX FULL OF 300 RINGS THAT REFUSE TO BOWL TOURNAMENTS BECAUSE SHOOTING A BUCK FORTY DOESNT LOOK COOL.(MY THERAPIST SAID THIS WOULD HELP)
    AND #2.  RUDE CHEFS THAT KNOW EVERYTHING(BUT REALLY DONT).  YOU ARE BOTH WELCOME TO POST A COMMENT ON MY SITE BUT KNOW THAT I AM A MASTER SALESPERSON AND ENGLISH MINOR SO I WILL WIN MOST ARGUMENTS SO WHY BOTHER.(OK OK, I AM ONLY SERIOUS).
    I AM NEW TO THIS SO PLEASE BE PATIENT AS I AM NOT A VERY "HI-TECH GUY".(MAYBE THATS WHY I BOWL AND SELL GREEN BEANS FOR A LIVING....HMMM).  I WELCOME ANY AND ALL COMMENTS AND WILL TRY TO RESPOND HONESTLY AND INTELLIGENTLY TO YOUR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
    BEST REGARDS!
    MATT(THE FOODMAN)
