I have been involved with the gymnastic community since 1984. I started gymnastics in 5th grade with a broken arm which I sustained in a monkey bar incident! Mary Lou Retton had just won the gold medal and I wanted to be just like her... I think my mother decided formal lessons would be a good idea after the my creative dismount on the playground ;) I was a competitive gymnast for the next decade and immediately and seemlessly transitioned into coaching. I have coached all ages and levels of gymnastics both men's and women's. When my own children retired from competition I retired from coaching... for a hot minute until I stumbled upon a strange and wonderous little world of functional fitness. My home box of Oakland County CrossFit invited me and encouraged me to take the CF Gymnastics seminar. Although I was already hooked on the "kool-aid" that weekend would open my eyes to a new avenue of coaching gymnastics. I joined the CFG team shortly after and spent 2 years traveling the world and sharing my 30 plus years of gymnastics with eager athletes. I have had the priveledge of coaching amazing games athletes like Carla Nunes-DeCosta, Pamela Gagnon, Brandon Phillips, Michelle Kinney, Kevin Montoya and Sam Briggs... I look forward to getting inverted with you!!! We will work hard and have fun!!!
