Passionate and innovative swim coach with 10+ years of experience with advance training in strength & conditioning coaching for all age group levels. Technically competent in all facets of coaching swim teams at regional, national and international level competitive events with a strong focus on the short, medium and long term progression and individual development of each swimmer in the program. I have excellent interpersonal and communication skills gained through my coaching experience of athletes from different ages and nationalities. I have a keen insight for innovation, and as such, I developed a biomechanics analysis video tool to gain the maximum performance for each athlete. I am also qualified to teach first aid and basic life saving’s techniques.

I am a big believer in the idea of how one's body feels, and what is going through one's mind before and after each race.  Helping with ideas, race strategy and mental positivity is one of my biggest focus points as a coach. When getting to the heart of the season in regards to racing, meets and practice there is no other place I would rather be than on the pool deck.  Being able to coach everyday, talking to the team and getting to know them/what they want to work on throughout the practice, week or even the season really helps me focus on what should be prioritized when writing for practice groups.  I have had the great fortune to work with wonderful athletes, and they are a huge reason why I love coaching.  Being able to connect with them and just help when they are on and off the pool deck really helps make that connection stronger, and also helps build trust between myself and the team.  

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
