Professional Bowler Ryan Ciminelli announced his retirement from full-time competition on Monday. He said that he put 30 years into the game.
According to PBA.com, Ciminelli has earned nearly $700,000 in career earnings from being on the tour since 2007. He has won eight titles in his bowing career on tour.
“To be honest, I’m not sure exactly how I feel, I’m heartbroken that I don’t feel like I can continue in this profession,” Ciminelli said in a Facebook post. “I’m glad because being a Pro Bowler is much more stressful than many things and I’ll be happy that the curiosity of where my next check is coming from is over. I guess I feel I’ve exhausted all the possibilities to extend my full-time career. I’ll take so many things away from this career path… the friends I’ve made, the cool people I got to meet, the accomplishments I was fortunate to gather, the memories of the travel, the high-pressure moments, the successes, the failures and all the beautiful places I’ve seen.

“I have been offered a position in my other passion of construction management as a commercial masonry project manager. I’m very excited to explore this new road with a very cool, talented, family-owned business called Exterior Expressions that has bases in Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas. Having said all that, I will have some vacation time immediately so I will get to pick and choose some events I’d still like to bowl and can keep commitments to my teammates in the league, the Luci, and Columbus HP events to name a few. Hopefully, I’m not done winning on tour… I’ll just have fewer opportunities to do so and that’s okay.”
