Grace joined NAIGC as a Board Member in 2022. Growing up Grace participated in Hockey and Figure Skating in South Dakota. Her interest in gymnastics wasn’t started until later in life when her son decided he wanted to be a gymnast. There were no MAG programs in South Dakota at the time. So in 2016, she changed jobs in order to be able to start coaching her son. She has been coaching USAG JO MAG Gymnastics ever since. In the meantime her son went to ASU and became a member of Arizona Men’s Gymnastics. This is where Grace’s interest in NAIGC began as she envisioned a need to help grow interest in competitive adult gymnastics. Meanwhile, Grace is busy as the head MAG coach at Power and Grace Gymnastics in Sioux Falls, SD.

Favorite Gymnastics Event: Grace’s favorite gymnastics events are MAG High Bar and WAG Floor.
