In the Pocket: Criscuolo is on fast track to success | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS Shares0 Although 41-year-old Gabe Criscuolo Jr. only became serious about the sport of bowling roughly seven years ago, his desire to excel put him on a fast track to success. Don’t be surprised if he pops up in a bowling center near you. This guy loves to roll the rock. Now living in Schenectady, Criscuolo, and his wife Elizabeth, the Senior Pastor at Nazarene Church, are both originally from Connecticut. They only dabbled in tenpins until fairly recently. Yet both of them have become passionate about the game and the many friends they meet at the lanes.
