What do you enjoy about Team Kman:I love the support and the encouragement that everyone gives to one another. It is really a HUGE part of my life, this team. I feel blessed to have developed the friendships that have become possible through Team K-Man. I TOTALLY enjoy being the coach in the morning at the pool and helping anyone and everyone reach their fitness goals!!!
Other interests/hobbies: I do not have time for any other interests or hobbies except Team K-Man! OK-seriously?- I try to grow flowers in the summer and beautify the garden. I am interested in just about everything, but spend most of my time working, training, playing with our cats, eating and sleeping- and of course, developing/organizing our AWESOME team!
Favorite Place(s):The swimming pool, the ocean, Trader Joe's, Ross Dress For Less, sleeping under the moon on a warm summer night, our house.
A Goal: To be a coach part-time and a nurse the other half.
Brag Box: I have been on TV twice, once in a show for FOX and once on a spot promoting the Waikiki Roughwater Swim. I have been on the cover of SWIMMING magazine. Boz Scaggs fell in love with me in a cafe in SF when I was 16 years old. I taught Julie Moss how to swim when she was training for the Hawaii Ironman in 1982. I have been a triathlete for 22 Years!!!
