Each member brings unique experiences, skills, and perspectives, united by a shared commitment to fostering growth, confidence, and excellence both in and out of the gym.

Mark Shroyer serves as a Board Member at Large for Joys Gymnastics, an organization that has been important to his family's life.  His daughter, Izabella, began gymnastics at age four and is now in her fifth year on the competition team.  Through her experience, Mark has seen firsthand the dedication, discipline, and teamwork that gymnastics fosters in young athletes.


Professionally, Mark works as a Radiation Safety Officer, where safety, accountability, and attention to detail are essential.  He hopes to bring that same focus to supporting a safe, positive, and encouraging environment at Joys.  Mark is grateful for the opportunity to give back to a community that has meant so much to his family and to support the continued success of its athletes, coaches, and families.
