In
keeping with my desire to work with and help
educate young people, I have, from 1980 to 2005,
volunteered my time to amateur athletics by
serving as a technical swim official to the
National Governing Body of Swimming in the United
States, U.S.A.
Swimming, and to the NCAA. I
have served as the referee for over 25 National
Championships, 4 U.S. Olympic Festivals, and 4
Olympic Trials. I worked as a technical swim
official on the pool deck at the 1988 Seoul
Olympics, the 1994 Rome World Championships, the
1995 Pan Pacific Championships, the 1995, 1999,
& 2003 Pan Am Games, the 1996 Atlanta Olympic
Games, the 1998 Goodwill Games, and as head
referee for the Women's NCAA Swimming and
Diving Championships from 1997 to 2005, which has
broadened my perspective of the efforts made by
college-age students world wide in their pursuit
of academic and athletic excellence.
Administratively, I have served on the
Board of Directors of USA Swimming for 8 years, as
the Vice President of Program Operations and
Southern Zone non-Coach representative. I served
as the Chairman of the Rules & Regulations
Committee of USA Swimming from 1988 to 1995.
Locally, I have been General Chairman,
Administrative Vice Chairman, and Records Chairman
of Florida Gold Coast Swimming, Inc., the local
governing body of USA Swimming.
