These days, the only jumping Stuart Ransom does is hopping around his Olive Branch factory making sure orders for electrical control panels are filled.
But flash back some 20-plus years, and Ransom was a high-flying world-class trampoliner.
Stuart Ransom, who will be inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame this summer, keeps his many medals in the attic of his Southaven home.
Before trampolining was an Olympic sport, Stuart Ransom was named in the Guinness World Records for winning the most U.S. National Championships for men. Today, his job as president of Control Products Inc. keeps him jumping.
In fact, he won 12 national titles. The record landed him a spot in Guinness World Records for winning the most U.S. National Championships for Men.
Come June 22, Ransom will be inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame for his trampoline accomplishments.
