Poll on competitive history pre-Masters

Started swimming competitively in 7th grade, started swimming year-round after that. Swam all the way through High School, not quite good enough for state. Swam for the Haucker at St. Olaf (Class of 1991) for four years. Was on a VERY tough team and only lettered two years. Great experience though, wish I could relive those days... Body and mind was fatigued by the Spring of 1991, took some years off. Discovered mountain biking, hiking, rollerblading, jetskiing, and wakeboarding. Started to miss swimming... Got on a team in 1999 (Sun Devil Masters) and was coached by Ron Johnson, Simon Percy, Mark Gill, and others. Have done four Nationals (LCM 1999, SCY 2003, SCY 2007, LCM 2008) and a bunch of local meets. Got involved in the LMSC (blame Mark Gill for that!) and became Chairman two years ago. Love to train and compete, got LCM penciled in for 2009 and 2010. The journey is the most fun though, have learned so much throughout my swimming career and grown immensely as a person.
