for 25+ years and more recently has been assisting SSC as a Marlins

“it takes a village to raise a child”. He loves being a
part of the SSC family and doing what he can to help in any way. He
continues to coach out of his passion for what the sport brings out
in our athletes. Not only the accomplishments in the pool but more
importantly how the sport develops our children. The lessons
learned from hard work, discipline and dedication while having fun
shows our children what it takes to succeed in obtaining
life’s goals. He’s extremely proud to be coaching his
daughter Bailey, a Fishers Jr. High student swimming for the
Piranha group. Dave’s wife Vicky works for the Hamilton
County Sheriff’s department and is very supportive of the
hours put in at the pool after working his full time job as a
Captain with the Fishers Police Dept.
I started swimming at eight
years old and continued to swim until age 23. I started swimming in
Brunswick, Ohio and swam for Brunswick High School. I then accepted
a scholarship to The Ohio State University where I swam for 4
years. The past year I went to the center for excellence Olympic
training cite in Charlotte, North Carolina to pursue my Olympic
dream. My career ended with a shoulder injury. Some of my
accomplishments include 5- time high school All-American, 8-time
Brunswick High school record holder, 3-year Ohio State team
captain, 7-time NCAA All-American, 3- year scholar athlete, former
Ohio State school record holder, Big Ten Champion.
Out of the pool I started
coaching in high school with the local summer league team. I
continued to coach throughout college including, summer league,
private lessons, and Ohio State Swim Club. I was the head North
9-10 year old coach for SwimMAC as well as the Senior 1
assistant.
I graduated from Ohio State
with a degree in Physiology and am pursuing my becoming a physician
assistant.
I started my
swimming career as a flying fish for SSC at the age of 8 and
swam until I graduated high school. I was part of the
club team as well as the high school team. It was a great
time and experience for me and I love being a part of it again.
Swimming was such a huge part of my youth and once the
opportunity to be back in the pool was there, I knew that I could
not pass it up. Swimming made such a big difference in my
life and I am so glad that I can do the same for the team
now.
I gradutated
from the Kelley School of Business at IU in Bloomington. I
worked as a Manager for Dick's Sporting Goods for a little over a
year and now am a Project Manger for Sign Craft
Industries.
During my free
time, I love to spend time with my family and friends as well as
working out, shopping, and relaxing.
