As an active kid, I swam competitively from 5-18 years old. During college and a few years after graduation I lead a very sedentary life. Topping 200lbs in early 2003 I happened to see the Mission Bay triathlon info and decided to sign up forcing me to be healthier. After that race I never looked back and have been competing for nearly 20 years while being a TCSD member since 2005. Over that time I have completed over 70 triathlon races including 2 draft legal sprint world teams, eight nationals appearances, four 70.3’s, and two Ironmans (Austria and Arizona). 

 

I joined the masters coaching staff in 2012 and took over the head coaching role in 2013. In this program we have helped hundreds of swimmers improve their stroke, for some it was just to finish a race, for others propelling them to podium spots. It’s been great being so involved with the program for the past decade. Go Tri Club.
