I’ve finally got my microphone!\u00a0 My studio is set up and we are ready to rock. Now I need my first interview.\u00a0 This is a great time to express views and philosophy.\u00a0 Achieve all that I ever wanted, and more. This is just one step closer to the finale of it all.\u00a0 I could start with my wife, or maybe co workers\u00a0 here in Oklahoma City.\u00a0 Or what about the disgruntled gymnasts that want to have a fair and just system.\u00a0 After all, this is one of the reasons why my GymCrew co-founders and I have created GymnasticsVille. To create a platform for the gymnastics community to express their views for positive change in our sport.<\/p>\n

Lets start with my life after competing for the Ohio State Gymnastics Team.\u00a0 Broke student-athlete trying to find his way.\u00a0 Working at a gym in Ohio looking for that next opportunity to present itself.\u00a0 Working to finish my college degree, training for the 2008 Olympics.\u00a0 After I lost my job, it was time for a fresh start somewhere else.\u00a0 I moved from Columbus to Allentown, Pa were I began training with Midknight Robin and the club team at Lehigh Valley Sports Academy. The new location and training atmosphere was just what I needed to get back on track with my training. Next up was the USA National Qualifier being held at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Co. There I was able to earn a position to compete at the 2008 USA Championship in Houston, Tx. I was pumped and ready to get back to the gym for preparation!<\/p>\n

After two days of competition at the 2008 USA Championships, I fell short of qualifying to the Olympic Trials. Well, at least I gave it a shot. So what’s next I thought, is this the end of my acro days? My body felt great and I was still in shape. So that next fall, Midknight Robin introduced me to one of his first gymnastics coaches Ron Perry, a Temple University Gymnastics team alum, who worked for the NBA Philadelphia 76ers Hare Raisers Squad and attended an audition.\u00a0 My teammate at the time Eddie Crane and I nailed our auditions and began working for the team that season.\u00a0 My first entertainment job!\u00a0 Bright lights, thousands of fans! All eyes were on center court and nothing else.\u00a0 To fail and succeed, the ultimate prize is the roar of the crowd.\u00a0 That moment of glory, intoxicating!\u00a0 These are the feelings of an artist, performer, acrobat.<\/p>\n
