Hi, my name is Rudy Borgonia IV, I’m 25 years old and I have been cheering/coaching for 8 years.

I began cheering at Mater Dei High and continued to cheer for Orange Coast College. Cheering at Mater Dei I won multiple national championships.

Going further I have been on multiple tv shows, commercials, and series such as: Boss Cheer, Marvels Runaways, Nickelodeons Kids Teens Choice Awards and others.
