Teacher, Coach, Family Man
Professional info
I've been coach, teacher, and administrator for almost 20 years now. I've had the privilege of teaching public schoolers, private schoolers, and home schoolers. I've coached All-Americans, National Champions, and never-done-it-before kids. Diving has been my primary sport, but I've also trained baseballers, soccer ballers, basketballers, and runners. I've had a lot of success along the way but I hope my greatest achievements lie in the character produced in those who I've had the chance to help along the way.
