Swim Background and highlights:  I have been swimming in some way or another for about 14 years now, 7 of them year round in club swim.  My favorite stroke is Breaststroke, although I have also been known to swim a little bit of IM.  My greatest achievements in the the water include getting my NCSA Junior National time standards in the 200 yard Breaststroke and the 200 yard IM.  This past March I flew to Florida for a week to compete with some of the best young swimmers in the Nation at the National Club Swimming Association Junior Nationals.

How many years with Green Valley: This will be my 14th as a swimmer, and my 4th as a coach.

Greatest Moment in the Water:  Dropping 4.5 seconds in my 200 Breast to get my first Junior National time.  I was blown away because I did not expect it to happen.

Fun stuff (the stuff the kids really want to know):  I have been swimming longer than most of the kids I coach have been alive.  I have had a girlfriend for the last 10 months, who is also a swimmer (and way better than me).  I was accepted into the University of California Irvine, where I will, surprise surprise, swim on the swim team.  I have been known to shave my head for swim meets I deem important enough.
