About James Linderholm
Founder of Huntsville Gymnastics, former lawyer, and candidate for Alabama House District 20.

James Linderholm has spent over three decades as a small business owner serving the families of Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley. Born in Illinois to a family of educators, he grew up in England, studied law at Oxford, and practiced in London and then Birmingham, Alabama, before moving to Huntsville in 1991 to pursue a career as a professional sports coach.
He has built Huntsville Gymnastics into one of the top training facilities in the region, with athletes at every level right up to NCAA Division 1, and has expanded it to Madison and Hampton Cove. He has volunteered on state and regional committees and is a National Instructor for USA Gymnastics.
With his legal background and a track record of building a business from the ground up, Linderholm brings executive experience and an advocate's training to the job of representing Huntsville and North Alabama. His campaign comes down to a simple promise: to listen, to find solutions, and to get results.
