Nearly fifty years of coaching experience. Learned from Frank Elm at Rutgers University and Bob Matson at the Wilmington Aquatic Club. Used this high level of education to build high school teams and developmental programs. Most recently completed 18 summers providing a feeder program for local USA teams, including Indian River Rats in Fort Pierce. The Swim Squad mentioned above has utilized my high school swimmers as volunteers and then as paid staff. We have developed a consistent teaching methodology and are known in our area for our success at teaching superior stroke mechanics. I'm also an occupational therapy practitioner with a specialty in aquatic therapy. I'm particularly good at training younger coaches. I'm open to a new challenge- in a hot weather state only. Very interested in a college coaching position. I enjoy coaching Masters and am good at teaching adult beginners.  Florida, California, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, one of the islands, Mexico. Austin, Texas- possibly. Would consider any place in the world as long as there is hot weather. I'm currently ten minutes from the beach and working as a private coach, mainly for adults of all levels. Can only give up living here in Vero Beach for an amazing opportunity where I can fully utilize my talents.

Former member of the CAL men's swim team (2011-2016). 2x American Record Holder, 5x NCAA Div I National Champion, 2x NCAA Div I National Team Champion, 15x NCAA All-American, and was on USA National teams (2009-2011). Over the past 4 years I have served as the National Group Assistant Coach and the Senior Group Lead Coach at Scottsdale Aquatic Club. This past August I was given the reigns Senior Group. Through mindful healthy program of individual personal development, mental health practices, overall athlete development all while making each individual feel 'seen' and welcomed, the group grew from a roster size of 16 in August, to 45+ by the end of March. I did not have the best experience in my swimming career which also spilled over into my overall development as a human being; this was much in part to a coach I had in my life. To which my driving force in why I do what I do is: "I never want an athlete to feel the way I felt growing up".
