Gymnastics
[edit | edit source]He was the United States artistic gymnastics champion in floor exercise in 1977, 1979, and 1980; and in vault in 1977, 1979, 1980, and 1981. He was a member of the United States men's national artistic gymnastics team and qualified for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team, although that team was never sent to Moscow because of a U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. He was one of 461 athletes to receive a Congressional Gold Medal years later.[3]
He served as Chief Operating Officer of USA Gymnastics from 2011 until his resignation on November 16, 2018.[4]
