Good luck to all our athletes competing this weekend in regionals and on the affiliate cup team!

So, today’s a special day… It’s Lance’s birthday.  In the usual custom, we offer up our obligatory “happy birthday” to the birthday boy.  But I wanted to take a quick moment to say thanks… thanks to LB for (whatever reason) deciding to open this gym about two and a half years ago.  Those first few classes were nothing more than him working out… but then he got his first two paying clients.  And more and more people started signing up.  Two and a half years later, there’s over 200 members, and I think I speak for most of us when I say it’s been something more than just a gym.  And for that, we thank you Lance.  And Happy Freaking Birthday.

In honor of the occasion, a special quote from Momma:

” Every good parent loves their child, but I feel very blessed because I also like mine; Happy Birthday Lance!”–love Momma.

Even at a young age, Lance like being the center of attention>

LB isn't just your average meat head gym owner... he's also an intellectual, evident in this early picture of him in fron the of the Encylopaedia Brittanica.

But sports would prove to be his true love... which 22 years later would lead him to open Ultimate.

And over time he decided to take some folks under his wing and spread his knowledge...

Happy Birthday, Captain

    HFB LB! Are we not having another debacle of a birthday workout like we did last year? Or maybe that’s next week when you get back…

    Best of luck to all our Regionals Games athletes! If you hear my voice in your head along with Mike’s, maybe it will drown out some of the pain. ;-)
