 A lifelong swimmer since the age of 5, I never thought my career would involve swimming. It was only after I decided to stay home with my kids that I got involved with my community swim team that was just getting organized. A few short years later I discovered that the pool was my calling and I started my new career. 


I have taught and coached at several levels over the last 20 years including:  Learn-to-Swim, Summer League & USA Swimming Teams as well as US Masters.  I am a USA Swimming Certified Coach with my American Swim Coaches Association Level 3 Education Certification.  I started our community’s swim team in 2005 and continue coaching both at the Age Group as well as High School levels for many years. I spent the last 10 years overseeing and growing award winning Aquatics Programs for LifeTime Athletic, USFitness (formerly Sport&Health) and Kids First Swim Schools. I have come full circle to lead LetSwim into its next phase.

I started instructing while serving in the Marine Corps over  25 years ago. This set the stage many years later when I began teaching part-time for Kids First Swim Schools. Shortly thereafter, I became a successful swim school Manager for Kids First and then their DC District Manager. I was instrumental in assisting the Kids First Corporate office in hiring, training and opening more than 25 schools in the mid Atlantic region. Now as the co-owner of LetSwim, I am excited to bring my years of teaching and managing experience to your community.
