Another newbie

...so I'll go ahead and give the lowdown on myself.

I am 24 years old and was a gymnast for 18 years. I trained and competed for Twin City Twisters in Champlin, Minnesota. I was awarded a full-scholarship to Western Michigan University where I competed on the team for 3 years before having to retire due to health reasons. I have also been coaching since the age of 15. I coached at my gym back home before moving to college. I then started coaching at a local club near my college. There, I coached pre-team through level 9. A year ago, I switched to coach at a different gym and am coaching preschool, recreational, and team gymnasts.

I am still living in Michigan, where I am coaching, substitute teaching, trying to find a full-time teaching job, and planning my August 2008 wedding!

That's me in a nutshell!
