Why Swim Advisor

Expertise & Insider Knowledge

I've coached at the highest levels of college swimming. As a former Head Coach at Boston College and Assistant at Notre Dame and Stanford, I know what coaches look for and how the recruiting process actually works.

Proven Track Record of Success

As a coach, I've helped athletes get results at every level. As the Swim Advisor, I've had similar success helping prospective student athletes navigate the recruiting process. My experience translates directly into understanding how to find your perfect program fit.

Personalized, Customized Guidance

College recruiting is personal. I take the time to understand your strengths, goals, and priorities so we can focus on programs that fit you athletically and academically. You'll go through this process with a clear plan and the confidence to execute it.

Beyond the Pool: Holistic Approach

Academics matter as much as athletics. I help you find schools where you'll thrive in the classroom and in the water, setting you up for a commitment that becomes the first step toward a lifetime of memories and a diploma from a school you can't imagine not having attended.

Master the Art of Communication

Knowing how to present yourself to coaches is one of the most overlooked parts of recruiting. I'll teach you how to write emails, handle phone calls, and carry yourself on campus visits so you make a lasting impression.

Dedicated Athlete Support

I'm invested in your success! I'll work alongside you throughout the process and make sure you're prepared every step of the way.
