I currently am finishing up my bachelors in exercise science. I have competed in USA swimming for over eight years and also competed as a college athlete for a Division Two Program with the University of Texas Permian Basin. I have so much passion for the field of coaching, exercise science, and psychology services. I have coached previously both as an age group coach, swim instructor, and summer league coach and have enjoyed every opportunity to help swimmers learn the correct technique to better themselves in the pool and to also help prevent injuries from occurring. I’m passionate to get back into the field of swim coaching! 

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.

I have been the BLA/Dolphin Aquatics’ Program Director since 1996. I am also the Director of Alumni and Community Engagement  at Saint Thomas Academy.   Coaching highlights:   2021 Inductee into the Hinsdale South Foundation Hall of Fame 2018 NHSACA National Swimming Coach of the Year  ASCA level 5 Coach  7 Olympic Trial Qualifiers 15 National Qualifiers 30 Junior National Qualifiers 24 High School All Americans 2 World University Game Gold Medalists High School Dual Meet record 151-7-1 15 State Championship Teams 14 at STA 1 at Minnetonka HS (The most State Swimming Championships in the History of Minnesota High School Swimming) 1996,2013 2014 2015 2016 MN High School Coach of the Year. 1991 MN ASCA Age Group Coach of the year
