The Most Amazing 8 years of my life

In June of 2003 I went back to my old high school for an interview to become the Dive coach for one of the most renowned High School Swim/Dive programs in the country. And believe it or not they gave me the job. Here we are 8 years later and its time to say goodbye.

In those eight years I have gotten married and had three amazing kids, two of them practically on deck ;) As my own family grew, I also became reconnected with a family I had nearly forgotten about. To be part of the Pioneer Swimming and diving team is to become part of their family. And its not just when you are on the team, coach the team, or have a child on the team, its forever. I can't believe that I had forgotten just what a wonderful family it is, but I know that I won't ever forget again.

I was fortunate to have wonderful athletes and even better coaches along side of me. I was able to be part of 2 National Championship teams, numerous State Championships, 1 State Champion Diver, 2 MISCA Coach of the Year awards, and 4 All-American divers. I also was extremely grateful for the wonderful support from outstanding parents of both divers and swimmers.

I know my coaching career will go on, but I doubt I will ever be a part of a team as special as Ann Arbor Pioneer!
