Where I Started…

     My journey in cheer and gymnastics didn't follow the typical path. I didn't start in this sport like most cheerleaders and gymnasts. It wasn't until high school that I had my first taste of tumbling. I was fortunate to have a friend whose family owned a power tumbling and gymnastics facility right in their backyard. Little did I know, this is where I slowly learned the foundational techniques that would shape my career.

     My official cheerleading journey began at Snow College before I moved to SLC and joined the University of Utah cheer team. As captain of the team, I continued to expand my knowledge, training, and experience in cheer and gymnastics. I traveled around the country working as an instructor for UCA (Universal Cheerleading Association), further honing my skills. Along with having experience in gameday cheer, I've coached and ran multiple all-star programs and teams and have competed at the USASF Worlds Cheerleading Competition in Orlando!

     It was also through cheerleading that I met my wife, the daughter of my coaches at the time. Now, we own and run a successful all-star gym, Northstar Elite, in Farmington, UT. Together, we travel and choreograph full routines for both high school and all-star programs.

I'm proud to say I've built an extensive background in cheer, gymnastics, athlete performance, and nutrition. Some of my accomplishments/certifications include:

• USASF STUNT AND TUMBLE CERTIFIED LEVELS 1-6
• ALL-STAR DIRECTOR OF UTAH XTREME CHEER IN WEST JORDAN
• CO-OWNER AND DIRECTOR OF NORTHSTAR ELITE IN FARMINGTON
• FORMER MEMBER OF THE USASF REGIONAL ADVISORY BOARD
• AWARD-WINNING CHOREOGRAPHY
• NBA CHEERLEADER (UTAH JAZZ)
• AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF CHEERLEADING COACHES AND ADMINISTRATION(AACCA) CERTIFIED
• NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SPORTS MEDICINE(NASM) CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER
• NASM PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT SPECIALIST

Be more than a cheerleader.

Be an ATHLETE.
