History
2002 is the year I started coaching at a local park district here in Illinois. From there I was hired to Curl Burke Swim Club in Virginia where greats like Natalie Coughlin, Amanda Beard and Ed Moses became Olympians. I was originally hired to coach private lessons and was promoted to assistant coach, then co coach then to head coach/stroke and turn coach. From there I opened my own swim school in Falls Church Virginia. Realizing how much having a whole club brought me off deck and made me more of an administrative coach I took a head coach position at Coral Springs Swim Club and was an assistant coach once a week to head Coach Michael Lohberg. Now I coach clinics, Intensives and private lessons in Illinois. I love being able to get to know each swimmer and really hone their skills into their own stroke, coaching small groups allows me to do that.
