He’s got the touch.
A swim coach since age 17, Jeff has developed six Olympic trial qualifiers, three Junior National Champions, 133 Illinois State Champions, and posted more than 100 national reportable times. Jeff swam competitively until a shoulder injury in college beached his aspirations, but didn’t dampen his love for the sport.
Life In Addition to Elite Athletic Development.
Head Coach at CATS Aquatic Team in Libertyville and Vernon Hills; General Chair for Illinois Swimming; Dad to Hannah and Danny, and husband to Nina, who introduced me to EAD | CFAH.
Life Before Elite Athletic Development.
Swam. Got married. Gained a lot of weight (I mean a lot of weight). Had kids. Lost a lot of weight. Wife talked me into joining and EAD | CFAH, where I fell in love with working out all over again.
The quality he most admires in the people he trains.
Seeing athletes get outside of their comfort zone. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable!
His Favorite Indulgence.
Jeff admits to what could be a small (or large?) BBQ obsession, and enjoys cooking and eating all sorts of different food.
