Career
Healey started bowling on a fluke. Apparently, they went out to bowl one evening when I was about seven years old, and they couldn"t get a babysitter. So they just dragged me along.
lieutenant turned out I liked it so much that they enrolled me in a youth league the next year"
While attending Wichita State University, he became a first team All-American in 1988.
Also while at Wichita State, Healey, Junior. was forced to choose between bowling and his major of computer science. "I was about a year and a half away from graduating with a major in computer science.
I remember walking into my counselor"s office and saying that I just made the United States national bowling team and I would be traveling a little bit. She basically looked at me and said, "If you miss one laboratory class, you"re out of the course for the semester." I had reached a level in computer courses that it was make-or-break time.
Obviously, I decided to bowl.
I stayed in school but changed my major to general studies."
