I am a former competitive athlete who competed in swimming at a national and international level.  I grew up swimming for a small team in Northern California, Indian Valley Aquatic Club (IVAC).  I then swam at Stanford University for two years under George Haines and two years under Richard Quick, both Olympic Coaches. 

I was a member of the US National Team multiple years and was World-Ranked multiple years (100 & 200 meter backstroke and 200 meter Individual Medley).  I competed at both the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Trials, as well as the US Swimming 1986 World Game Trials and was a finalist at the World University Games in 1989.  I was a 14 time All-American swimmer for Stanford University and was Co-Captain of the Varsity team my Senior year. My Junior year we won the NCAA Division I championship and in my Senior year I was Pac-10 Conference Champion in the 200 yd. backstroke.

I understand the demands, pressure and expectations of a high-level competitive athlete.  I love working with athletes of all levels and helping them overcome blocks or push their performance to the next level.
