Meet the folks behind USA All Around!
Tessa Denen
Tessa is the founder and creator of USA All Around. As a lifetime gymnastics fan and a short-time gymnast herself, she decided to start a website dedicated to the women of the USA National Gymnastics Team. For so long gymnastics was only visible during an Olympic year. Finally, thanks to more sports channels, the internet, and social media, gymnastics is more readily accessible for everyone, year round. This has brought well deserved fame and recognition to these hard working ladies and a larger fan base that wants to closely follow their progress and the goings on behind the scenes. While gymnastics has gotten MORE recognition and air time throughout the years, there's still a hole in coverage, leaving fans searching on their own for the latest news.
This is the reason USA All Around was created, with the goal of being a quick easy place to learn about the sport, the ladies representing our country, follow the current headlines, and have some fun along the way.
​
Tessa lives near Indianapolis and is a work from home mom of two kiddos, a five year-old, gymnastics obsessed daughter (who is determined to be better than Simone Biles when she's older... dream big, baby girl), and a ten year-old creative and crazy son. She has been married for 13 wonderful years to her incredibly talented writing and composing husband. In addition to creating content and manning this website, she is also a video editor, coach, choreographer, and preschool music teacher.
