Kieron Cindric

Growing up in Ohio, Kieron had an embarrassment of professional-athletic riches to which to claim allegiance, from the Bengals, to the Browns, to the Buckeyes. But ever the sports philistine, Kieron instead turned his eye (and fanatical heart) to all the sports where usually-wrong judges decide the winner: gymnastics, figure skating, and diving. A writer, teacher, actor, and painter, Kieron can presently be found in Cleveland, watching old videos of Shannon Miller beam routines while cantankerously shouting “give ‘er the 10!” at the screen.
