  Mickey Luongo worked with his father Mike in their pro shops for several years and has been associated with Storm and Roto Grip for three years. 

  Ryan Shafer, 46, resides in Horseheads, NY with his wife Michelle and achieved a 9th place ranking during his competition in this years professional tour.

  Ryan won the 2003 Empire State Open at the Bowlers Club in Latham, NY., has made the finals in major championships 13 times, finished runner up five times, rolled a nationally-televised 300 game in the semifinal round of the 2007 Pepsi Championship, became the 30th PBA member to reach the $1 million mark in career earnings and is the owner of 19 PBA regional titles. 

  Shafer was diagnosed with diabetes at age 19 but has competed on tour with the disease his entire career. 

  During the 2011-12 tour his best finishes came in PBA's major tournaments, finishing second in the PBA World Championship and fourth in the U.S. Open at North Brunswick, NJ.
