Current residence: Eureka Springs
Family and Occupation: Retired, 21 years!
Swimming background: Moved to Northwest Arkansas in 2001 and met Carolyn Haefner at the Bentonville pool.
Favorite event/race: I have not competed in 2 years. I swam 50s and 100s – enjoyed backstroke and freestyle mostly.
Swimming hero: Carolyn Haefner, she and I swim together twice a week.
Swimming goals: My goal is to continue swimming as long as possible and to remain in the best shape that I can at my age.
