Meet The Gainstas

Stephanie Burns / Co-founder
Stephanie Burns / Co-founder


Stephanie was born and raised in H-town. She attended Houston Baptist University where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Marketing & Psychology in 2002. After graduating, she became the Marketing Manager at Houston Swim Club, and after many years with the company, helped to build their Social Media Marketing platforms to what they are today. Garnering new customers, but more importantly helping to save more lives. She understands the value in sharing honest, organic content in order to increase engagement (and tug at heartstrings). For Stephanie, working hard to help others and fight for a good cause is truly a passion. More important than her career in Marketing is her role as a wife and mother. She lives in Pearland, Texas with her husband, Brian, their 2 children, Braxton (12) and Sydney (8), and her 3 dogs (who have their own Instagram account). #becausegainsta

Taylor is the Social Media Manager, Digital Content Creator, and Facebook Advertising Specialist for the Houston Swim Club. He was given the opportunity to throw a cape on after convincing his company how important Social Media is to a business’ marketing strategy. He then laid out a plan for the next 12 months. He and Stephanie worked with the management at all 5 locations to get everyone on the same page, and took HSC to the top of the food chain. A year later, the Houston Swim Club capped off one of their most profitable years ever. Creating and thinking outside of the box is something he takes massive pride in. He is proficient in Photoshop, Premiere Pro, iMovie, and WordPress.
