Steve's Story
Life
After high school, I attended the University of Nebraska on a diving scholarship and also competed on the gymnastics team. I was the NCAA Floor Exercise National Champion in '80 & '82 and we won 4 NCAA National Gymnastics Team Championships - '79-82. I also continued competing on the USA National Tumbling Team winning 8 various World Tumbling Titles. I spent a short time in California working as a stuntman and even appeared in a "Texas - It's Like a Whole 'nother Country" commercial in the mid-80's. I also worked on the gymnastics movie "American Anthem". In 1991, I tried aerial snow skiing and did well until I tore my ACL.

tional Champions since. After going to school, coaching and living in Lincoln Nebraksa for 12 years, I moved to Pennsylvania where I worked and lived at the premier Gymnastics Summer Camp in the country - Woodward Camp. After the 1996 Olympics, I moved to Cincinnati working with the nations top gymnasts. In 1998, I began gymnastics consulting nation-wide and ended up settling back down in Texas in early 2000. I was co-owner and coached at the Mesquite Institute of Gymnastics in the Dallas metroplex. In January of 2003, I started my own Internet Marketing company. I never married (too busy) but still searching. I am very involved in the Highland Oaks Church of Christ. I am a private pilot and fly my own Piper Cherokee 180. Love to play golf and fish when I find the time. I would love to hear how my "old" classmates are doing and if you're in the Dallas area, please contact me.
