Bio:

I have coached age group and masters swimming with various clubs in Colorado throughout my coaching career. The video analysis offers great information to help improve speed and efficiency in the water. I have video taped many age-group swimmers,
triathletes, masters swimmers as well as the improving adult swimmer learning to swim for fitness as an adult. I truly value these skills I have acquired with my education and
experience to continue to pursue my passion in life as a teacher and a coach. Now I am learning more about enjoying my life and getting stuff done.

I competed in swimming during high school and all four years in college at Colorado State University. In 1977, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree on Physical Education with a teaching certificate K-12 and an emphasis in Health/Coaching. At age 25, I placed in the top ten in three events at the Masters National Championships. In 1990, I earned a Master of Arts degree in Physical Education at the University of Northern Colorado with an emphasis in Adaptive P.E.

I am the presently the department head for the aquatics programs at the Colorado Athletic Club DTC facility in Denver working with all ages and abilities in swimming.

Interests:

skiing, hiking, ultimate frisbee
