DynaNation -

It is with great pleasure that Maria and I introduce the newest addition to the Dynamo Multisport family, coach Andrew Shanks.  Many of you have seen Andrew as one of our regular coaches in our PowerCycle indoor cycling classes this past year or shadowing Coach Maria on the pool deck.  We are thrilled to have his talent and his passion in a more formal role on the team as another one of our full-time coaches.

Growing the vision for Dynamo Multisport has always been something that Maria and I have been very careful about.  Our people – athletes and coaches – have developed a culture built on integrity, passion and respect for one another.  As it relates to growth, I have only wanted to expand with people who fit the way we do things.  Maria is such a special person and coach that the bar has been set really, really high.  Finding a coach like her doesn’t just happen, and harder yet, more than one coach of her caliber and character.  So for the last several years I have been patient with the process, keeping my eyes and ears open and allowing things like expansion to occur organically.  Be sure that the priority for Maria and me has been to preserve our culture above anything, including expanding the breadth of our reach of our vision.  We are thankful that Coach Shanks – a character person first and foremost and equally as talented coach – allows us to seamlessly preserve our culture and now expand the capabilities of reach.  In short, Coach Shanks “fits” with who we are and how we do things, and we, as a team, are all better for it.  Please join me in welcoming Andrew to our family.

Andrew can be reached directly via email.  In the meantime, nothing changes within our family.  We are a reflection of the great people you are and the great team that has grown the last 3 seasons.  We are passionate, caring athletes who respect one another while training and racing with integrity and enthusiasm.  WE ARE DYNAMO!

Yours in GREEN,

Matthew
