Riffer added that he and AFFLINK’s executive staff are impressed with Duckworth’s record of team building and discipline that drove such impressive results on the gym floor.
“We are all strong believers that Dana’s competitive mindset that led her to become a 2x NCAA Balance Beam Champion and her head coaching experience are more than transferable to our business,” Riffer said
