The RippingTheRack Crew

RIPPING THE RACK is a product of bowlers for bowlers who believe that the game grows at the grassroot level by increasing the awareness of those who participate. We are currently producing this site and a periodic newsletter that deals with the sport of bowling in the state of RI (and some surrounding areas) and Greater Providence Bowling Association.

RTR's core has grown since our inception. Rich Goetz is the mastermind behind the whole idea. Todd Hagemoser brought RTR to the internet. We then brought Will Pryor on board with a better business sense. Greg Gent has got involved also bringing a programming side to it. Crystal Hagemoser has come on board with Administrative skills trying to help us get more organized. Liane Howard is assisting with Administrative and Customer Service. Tom Brown is helping with Public Relations. Also, with support from friends, family, the bowling community, and you, the fan, we hope to grow, but most of all, we want to support and promote bowling in our niche of the world and hopefully inspire others to do the same.
