I joined my first swim team, Woodlands Cabana Club, just before my fifth birthday.  I completed my career while swimming for UC Santa Barbara.  Swimming was my athletic passion and focus from a small boy all the way through college.  Much of who I am is a direct result of this journey of over fifteen years.  I had mountain-top victories as well as devistating defeats.  The lessons I learned are countless and the memories are priceless.
