Hi! My name is Joe and I’m excited to be coaching at PVI this year. I grew up in Alexandria, VA and dove for Hayfield in the summer, and a couple of years in high school. I was fortunate to walk on to the dive team in college as well. In 2012–2013, I coached both Langley and McLean HS, and had several divers go onto regionals and even produced a state champion. My favorite dive is the inward. Let’s bounce!
