"I started gymnastics when I was older in Kansas City at Highlanders Gymnastics. I started coaching when I was fifteen to offset the costs and realized I liked coaching even more than competing and have been doing it since then. In 1997 I opened Show-Me Gymnastics so I could coach gymnastics the way I wanted to and give kids in Columbia a place to train if they wanted to go beyond club level gymnastics."
Birthday: June 9th
Fun Fact: I was the first person in my family to do gymnastics, and now there are three generations involved and two Missouri gyms.
"I started doing gymnastics at Show-Me when I was seven years old and competed here for eleven years. I was the first athlete from SMG to receive a college scholarship for gymnastics. I went to Kent State University in Ohio and competed there for four years. After leaving Missouri for college and a few more years of work, I moved back to Columbia and immediately came back to coaching at SMG. I have also recently started judging and have gotten my level 10 rating."

"I started doing gymnastics when I was two years old at a gym in St Louis. I competed up to level eight before retiring after tearing my ACL and having hip issues.

"I started gymnastics when I was 3, and competed for over 12 years. In high school I switched my focus from gymnastics to diving and went on to compete as a Division 1 collegiate diver at Wright State in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have 15+ years of experience teaching gymnastics at levels ranging from parent-child classes up to level 4. My favorite part of teaching gymnastics is seeing my students confidence levels grow as they master new skills!"
Birthday: December
Fun Fact: My daughter, Jordyn, is also a member of the Show-Me Family competing on the optional team. Also I might have a slight obsession collecting leotards for her! :)
"I started gymnastics at Show-Me when I was 5 years old. I did recreational classes until I was in late elementary school, then switched to competitive gymnastics. When I turned 15, I quit competitive gymnastics to focus on newspaper, speech, and debate at my high school. I use the lessons I learned in gymnastics everyday and want to help the next generation learn those lessons as well. I love teaching the recreational classes as well as being in the amazing gym atmosphere here at SMG."

"I am originally a Texas Gymnast. I did gymnastics for about twenty years. I started gymnastics because I watched my sister (Kristi) doing gymnastics and always tried to imitate her. I started competing at the age of nine and competed all the way through college. I competed beside my sister until she attended MIZZOU. I then three years later, joined her on the MIZZOU GYMNASTICS Team. We both were on a full-ride scholarship."
"During my years as a private club gymnast, I had many achievements. I was the Western National champion at the age of twelve years old. I attended the National Championship for Region three every year from then on after until I came to college. I won the National title on the vault, bars, and all-around 3x and placed in the top three on the beam and floor at each nationals. As a freshman in college, I was ranked number one in the nation for six weeks and competed on the same team as Julie Dorn. I was the PURINA CAT CLASSIC all around, vault and bars champion. As a MIZZOU gymnastics team, we captured the Big 8 championships ."
"I have been coaching since I was sixteen years old and love it. I coached at many gyms in Texas. I moved to Missouri seventeen years ago to be closer to my sister (Kristi) after the death of our older sister (Kelly). I started coaching at FLIPZ but after fifteen years. It was time to move on. I have currently been coaching classes and team at SHOW ME and loving every minute. Show me has such a great fun spirit... and all the coaches and gymnasts have made me feel right at home."

Fun Fact: At the age of thirteen, I sustained an injury, dislocated foot, so severe that the doctors told my parents I would walk with a limp and would probably never run or do gymnastics anymore. My determination told them they were wrong. I came back even stronger and better. This experience has made me realize that if you dream it... no matter how hard... if you really want it... GOD will help you achieve your goals.
