Erica D
Erica grew up in Wichita, KS, and loved dancing and gymnastics as a kid. She’s a proud third generation Jayhawk from the University of Kansas. Inspired by her dad, an ultramarathoner and daily runner, she took up running in college and added Iyengar yoga when she came to Santa Cruz in 2004 for grad school at UCSC.
After the birth of her first son, she discovered bootcamp classes and loved the inspiration and camaraderie she found there. The pandemic and the birth of her second son led to the desire for more strength training and coaching around weight lifting. She quickly fell in love with SCG and its mix of challenge and support. As a bonus, she is rediscovering the joy of recess time with rope climbing, jumping rope, handstands and swinging on bars.
She is excited to be a part of this awesome community!
