Hello Swim Families,

I started swimming competitively at five years old for the Exeter Eels Swim Team. Upon reaching high school, I joined a club swim team and the high school team. I was on the varsity swim team and varsity water polo teams throughout high school, and then swam one year at College of the Sequoias. My best swimming events were the 50 free, 100 free, 100 breast, and 200 I.M. My greatest achievements were an AAAA time standard in the 50 free with a time of 20.89 seconds and an AAA time standard in the 100 free with a time of 46.77 seconds. 

My experience includes two years of Rescue Swimming in the U.S. Navy, four years of lifeguarding, and 5 years of coaching with 1 year as a head coach. I am a USA Swimming certified coach and ASCA Level 2 coach. 

My education background includes a Master's in Criminology, Bachelor's in Sociology and Criminal Justice, and Associate's in Criminal Justice. I had the honor of working for the federal government for a couple years following college, but have decided to follow my true passion as a swim coach.

My goals for this team include: half the team attending Junior Olympics, half of the Senior group qualifying for Sectionals, and 10 Seniors with Futures cuts.
