Me Personally

I coach youth baseball and enjoy seeing the kids achieve results they didn't think were possible for them to accomplish. I'm a twenty-four-time United States Master’s Diving National Champion, an All-American, and won two silver medals at the World Masters Championships in springboard and platform diving.
