Years involved with Special Olympics: Two and a half years
Sport(s) you coach: Swimming and previously Golf
How you became involved: My sister in law, Nikki Tilley, invited me to help out with the Walk a Thon in 2007. I came down to help out and loved the spirit of the athletes so much that I decided to volunteer with the golf program that summer. I enjoyed the golf season so much that I signed up to help out with swimming the following September.
What do you like about coaching Special O athletes: Special O athletes emanate an infectious spirit. They are super dedicated, hard working and ultra enthusiastic. I love seeing the athletes improve their skills and attain their personal bests in the pool. Coaching with Special O has been a great pleasure.
Best accomplishments: Helping four of our local athletes qualify and train for the Provincial Games.
