At the age of twenty, they had the distinction of winning the British Youth Championship. Upon turning Professional they continued their success in Blackpool by placing second in the Rising Star Division. Soon after, they emigrated to the U.S. and were competing for top honors in this country. In 1984, they won the United States Championship in the Standard Division and went on to represent the U.S. in the World Championship.
