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:

  • JAMfest Cheer Super Nationals
  • NCA All Star Nationals
  • NCA College Nationals
  • USA College Nationals
  • Worlds

Spirit Post & Cheer Parents Gone Broke

Spirit Post is a Spirit Industry blog. It comments on Business News, Rules Update, and Competition Results along with Rumors and Editorials. Cheer Parents Gone Broke (CPGB) is a forum for people with ties to cheerleading to talk about anything, including cheerleading. I am the main, but not only, author on Spirit Post, and the Administrator of CPGB.
