The Early Years

Ballet, jazz dancing, and cheerleading were major influences in Katie’s upbringing in Orange County, California. Starting dance at age 3 and capping off her dance/cheer career coaching a Pop Warner National Champion cheer squad at age 16, exercise and dance have been the background of Katie’s life.

Earning both her high school diploma and her California cosmetology license by age 18 Katie was ready for a challenge and a change of scenery. That adventurous spirit found her at her parents’ alma mater, Moorhead State University in Moorhead, Minnesota.

Lonely and cold in her new northern Minnesota home, Katie relied on the pursuits of her past to see her through the challenging coursework and long, dark winters. The university had a state-of-the-art wellness center right across the street from her dormitory and Katie found herself there every day trying out new machines, taking classes, and meeting students who shared her same health and fitness interests. Midway through her freshman year Katie changed her major from business to exercise science and the rest – as they say – is history.
