Often Times Clients ask how Level Up tumbling got its start, the answer is simple. With hard work, Passion and a love to both learn and teach. The goal has always been to have a positive impact on as many athletes as possible, here is the story.

As a young man Damien was drawn to teaching tumbling and after many years of being an athlete in multiple tumbling formats both Gymnastics and Cheer leading he made the decision to make it his life goal to learn all there is to teach and train tumbling with perfect technique and execution.

He eventually started working for a gymnastics facility where he taught level One to Elite gymnastics for 6 years. Upon coaching a very successful gymnastics team and 3 fairly young but very good all-star cheer leading teams he inevitably became the class director and head coach and got his developmental tumbling and safety certifications.  All while serving  in the United States Army National Guard where he learned valuable leadership skills and the importance of being both mentally and physically fit.

After realizing the potential good he could make in the tumbling industry Damien decided to get his USA Gymnastics certification along with various others and decided to venture out to start focusing on working with larger gyms. He soon became the tumbling director at Cheer Tyme All-stars where he coached Level 5 Worlds and Summit Teams. This also gave him the opportunity to work with many local schools and do very large camps including the CheerTyme Mega camp for 2 seasons.

Upon leaving Cheer Tyme Damien decided to share his knowledge with as many gyms as he could and started working as the tumbling director for both Epic All-stars in West Virginia, where the level 2 team took second place at UCA Nationals his first year and at Dazzle-U All-stars In Harrisburg Pennsylvania.
