I started swimming the summer before eighth. After spending a couple year blowing bubbles and not being serious about swimming, I decided to change my attitude and work much harder after not making state my Sophmore year. I made finals in state for the 200 IM and the 500 Free. I spent several years teaching swimming and coaching pre-comp teams. After taking several years off, I started swimming again. I was asked to help coach a few days a week and have been coaching for the past 3 years. I enjoy being a part of the staff and enjoy working with the children to help them improve.
