Activities

A life dedicated to competitive athletics
is just one of the ways I strive to Get 1% Better Every Day

I love movies! Watching them, creating them, sharing them.
As a collaborative art medium, it is always exciting to work with
other creative people to invent something entertaining,
imaginative, or educational.

I've discovered I love to teach what I know, and swimming
is top of that list. Years of my own personal training have
refined my own understanding of what good swim instruction
needs to be, and I have capitalized on that for my first "real job."
It really fills me with pride to see other young people light up
with new knowledge and a sense of personal success.

In The Book of Hope, author Jane Goodall identifies a set of
principles that I aspire to: Make a positive difference; Embrace hope; Show respect and love; Take responsibility; Connect with others;
Act with compassion. I have a long way to go on this path, but I believe
every little step in this direction can have a lasting impact.
Whether I'm volunteering to help coach special needs kids, or
attending a meditation retreat, these are the ingredients I need
to stay the course to Be A Good Person.
