Wonder what this 1990 Texas Pom girl (Michele Summerall) would think if you told her she would one day run a pom pom company and design poms for teams around the world. And her business would be on something called the internet, a platform which didn't even exist. Pretty sure her English-major brain would have exploded. One thing hasn't changed. In college, she loved being a part of a team, cheering people on, and helping others. Pretty much what she still does at getpoms.com.

Meet Michele
Michele Summerall lives in Dallas, TX, with her husband and their two children. She unwittingly began her career by dancing on her high school drill team, high-kicking as a Kilgore College Rangerette and pom-dancing at the University of Texas. Her love of dance and heart for kids led her back to high school gyms where she directed her own dance/drill teams for nearly a decade.
What started as a small business in 2005 quickly became a go-to resource for cheer and dance teams nationwide. Michele brings her firsthand experience and eye for detail to every order, helping coaches, directors, and studio owners feel confident in their choices — and proud of how their teams look.
These days, she spends her time designing custom poms, supporting customers, and occasionally being bossed around by Annie the office chihuahua.
