Miguel Rodriguez has strong ties to California’s Central Valley, he was born in Merced, raised Dos Palos and with his father commuting to Fresno for work on a regular basis, his parents decided to move their family to Fresno in 2002. While Miguel was in high school, he played football and started working for his uncle in construction. During this time, he also watched his mother put herself through school and raise a family. This inspired him to have a good work ethic and when the time came, focus on his own family.

At the end of December, 30 of GRID's IBT instructors gathered in Fresno, CA for the first ever IBT Instructors Summit. Our trainers traveled far and wide, from across the U.S and Latin America, to attend this important event. Over the course of three days, our brilliant instructors exchanged ideas, learned from each other's challenges, and celebrated successes to gather new skills that will equip them as they continue elevating our IBT program curriculum.
