"Hi everyone, my name is Ryan Edington and I am a Junior at the University of Utah. I am studying kinesiology and minoring in nutrition and psychology. I am originally from San Jose, California, I have been living in Utah for almost two and a half years. I have been playing sports my whole life, some of my favorite sports are water polo and baseball. In my free time I like to snowboard, hike, watch movies, and hang out with my friends.

I am excited to work with Stretch-n-Grow of Utah because it allows me to be in an athletic environment where I get to encourage kids to be active while sharing my knowledge of sports with them! Being active is one of the most important things for someone’s health. I am excited to be able to provide kids with the chance to be active in a fun and supportive way."

Linda Kubly is co-owner and Program Director. The groundwork for Linda’s passion for children’s health began when as a small child she was diagnosed with severe asthma and allergies. Her parents and her great uncle, a pediatrician, helped her meet her childhood health challenges. As a young adult she wanted to give back by helping children and their parents adapt to their diseases through learning self-care concepts at an early age. She completed a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Science with a specialty in Nursing of Children. She practiced nursing for over 30 years, including roles in School Health, Pediatric Nursing, Pulmonary Nurse Specialist, Program Planning, Nursing Administration and Quality Improvement design and implementation. She also provided private consulting services in quality improvement, nursing practice, and regulatory compliance.

After more than 30 years in acute health care, Linda’s goals shifted to health promotion with a focus in meeting the needs of young children and their families. In 2001 she and her husband became franchise owners of Stretch-n-Grow of Utah, serving the Wasatch front and back. In 2003 they became Master Franchise Owners, with a goal of helping others get started in their own Stretch-n-Grow businesses. She and her husband also have developed a consulting company, Wasatch Family Fitness, providing environmental, fitness and wellness education for families and the community.

Linda and Dennis Kubly are the proud parents of two adult children and three delightful grandchildren. In their free time they spend time with their family, gardening, fly fishing, and reading.
