Coaches

Head Coach Jennifer Johnson

I grew up in Lander, Wyoming, where I began competitive swimming in 8th grade and continued through high school, specializing in distance events. During that time, I taught swim lessons and coached young athletes with USA Swimming. After two shoulder surgeries ended my competitive career, I returned to coaching my senior year at the University of North Dakota. I served as an assistant coach for the Grand Forks KnightRiders boys’ and girls’ teams and was head coach for the Grand Forks Special Olympics Swim Team. I graduated from UND with a B.A. in History, a Minor in Athletic Coaching with an emphasis in swimming, and a Secondary Education certification. In 2009, I began teaching at Fargo North and coaching the boys’ team before becoming the first head coach of Davies Boys Swim & Dive in 2011. I have since been named EDC Coach of the Year in 2013, 2015, 2021, and 2022, and State Coach of the Year in 2021. Professionally, I am also a Realtor with Park Company. I believe all athletes can achieve greatness through will, courage, and determination—pushing beyond what they think is possible to become better each day.

Misti Tomchuck- Diving Coach

I dove at West Fargo High School from 1994 to 1998. I coached one season of boys diving at Fargo North in 2006, then 7 seasons with West Fargo Boys (2007 – 2012) and 6 seasons with West Fargo Girls (2008-2014). At this time, I took some time off to attend my own children’s activities. I graduated from North Dakota State University in 2002 with a BS in Chemistry, earned an M.Ed. in Science Education (NDSU) in 2009, an MA in Forensic Psychology from the University of North Dakota in 2012, and recently finished my Ph.D. in Education Foundations and Research in 2021 (UND). I have been a teacher for Fargo Public Schools since 2006. I am just finishing up my first season back with the Fargo South Girls team this fall (2023), and I am very excited to be on the pool deck coaching again.

Matt Stinar- Assistant Swimming Coach

I have been swimming since I was 10 years old, competing for the FMY Gators and NLSA Marlin Club teams. In High School, I attended Fargo South and swam 6 years for the Bruins, serving as team Captain my Junior and Senior years. I attended St. John's University, where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biology. While in college, I swam and played Water Polo all 4 years for the Johnnies, serving as Captain for both teams my senior year. Following college, I returned to Fargo. I became an Assistant Coach for the Davies boys in the 2016-2017 season. I began coaching the West Fargo Packer girls in 2018, was promoted to Co-Head Coach in 2020, and to Head Coach in 2022. In 2025, I was awarded the EDC and State Coach of the Year for girls.  I am also a coach for the West Fargo Flyers club team. I am a huge swim nerd, and follow Olympic, pro, and NCAA swimming, attending meets whenever I get the chance. I still enjoy getting in the pool a couple of days a week and trying out new equipment and techniques. My favorite part of coaching is seeing athletes achieve their goals and exceed what they think they are capable of.

Carter Moilanen- Assistant Swimming Coach

I have been swimming since an early age, but began competitively swimming in 8th grade. This led to 5 years with the Sauk Rapids-Rice swim team. At Sauk Rapids-Rice, I was captain during my senior year and placed 8th junior year and 9th senior year at sections in butterfly. I taught swimming lessons for 4 years in Sauk Rapids. This led to me getting my degree at NDSU for math education. Now, I teach 8th-grade math at Discovery Middle School. At Discovery, I’m also involved with the improv club and the morning weight room. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, performing improv, and collecting coins.
