Biography:

Ever since I can remember I have been drawn to the water.  I have spent a majority of my life swimming competitively. My favorite strokes are butterfly, breaststroke and freestyle, I honestly don’t like backstroke but I deal with it for the IM.  My freshman year in high school I started to help coach our boys swim team and then started coaching summer club and year round club during my junior year in high school. Since then I had the coaching bug, I have tried to take some time away from coaching a couple of times but I always return to it because it is my passion.  I truly believe that swimming is a life skill we all need to know and there are so many life lessons we can learn through swimming. My philosophy as a coach is to teach swimmers proper technique first and foremost then start working on speed and endurance.
