Spirit Industry

I’ve been involved with Cheerleading since the Spring of 1992. I started with my High School team because, like most guys I know that cheered for their High School, I was talked into it by a girl. From there two thing got me hooked. The first was my teammate, Jeff Bowles, letting me know about his All Star team, Pro Cheer (Kansas City). The second was seeing Brad Calhoun do a Cupie.

At this point of my cheerleading career there are few things remaining that I want to do. On the judging side of things they are to judge the following events:

  • ICU World Championship
  • IFC World Championship
  • JAMfest Cheer Super Nationals
  • NCATA Nationals
  • STUNT Nationals
  • USA College Nationals
