We are open and honest with ourselves and each other

This is my 4th year coaching Lakewood High School Swimming. I have been part of the Colorado swimming community for 20 years. I swam for the Green Mountain Gators, Green Mountain High School, and Colorado College. I also coach the Green Mountain Gators in the summer. Currently, I teach Chemistry and Career Explore Science at Dakota Ridge High School.

This is my 2nd year coaching Lakewood High School Swimming and my 4th year coaching within Jeffco. I grew up in Illinois where I swam in high school and for my local club team and summer team. Before I became a teacher, I taught swim lessons full time in Parker, CO. I am currently a Geometry and Algebra 2 teacher here at Lakewood High School. 

Since I coach diving for Lakewood, Green Mountain, Golden, Wheat Ridge and Bear Creek, I'm not sure exactly how many years I have been coaching Lakewood diving. But, I remember taking a LHS diver to State when Missy Franklin was swimming. She is 30 now, so it has been at least 12 years. I also coach the Green Mountain High School Boys Swim Team and the Golden Marlins in the Summer. I teach at GMHS.
