Growing up in the lakes of Northern Michigan, Chris spent his childhood turning every dock and shoreline into an adventure. That lifelong connection to the water, combined with years of summer league swimming, laid the foundation for his belief that swimming is the ultimate blend of life-saving skills, discipline, and personal growth.

While Chris brings a fresh perspective to swim coaching, he is a veteran leader with years of experience coaching and directing youth sports programs. After a standout inaugural season as a swim coach, he quickly became known for his high energy, organizational precision, and a unique ability to connect with athletes of all skill levels. Chris views his role as a "visionary bridge", merging his professional leadership background with a coaching philosophy that prioritizes character, perseverance, and self-belief.

As Board President and Coach, Chris is the strategic heart of Just Swim.  Now a husband and father to two young swimmers, his mission is to ensure every athlete leaves the pool feeling more confident and capable than when they arrived. Whether he is refining a swimmer's technique or guiding the long-term direction of our movement, Chris is dedicated to making the water a "happy place" for every family in our community.

What began as a simple mission to teach her daughter water survival skills quickly evolved into a full-scale family passion. As Tiffany watched the pool become her daughter’s "happy place", moving from summer leagues to year-round training, she found that her own role shifted from the sidelines to the heart of the action. A natural volunteer, she famously traded her "outdoor voice" at championship meets for a whistle as an assistant coach, eventually finding a permanent home for her advocacy with Just Swim.

Joining the Board of Directors is the perfect intersection of Tiffany’s personal world and professional prowess. A Steele Creek resident of 22 years, she brings a formidable 20-year career in accounting to the organization. As a CPA with an MBA, she provides the fiscal heart and strategic oversight necessary to fuel our growth. Having spent years as an amateur triathlete and distance runner, Tiffany understands the grit and dedication required for athletics, and she is thrilled to channel that energy into ensuring Just Swim remains an amazing, fun, and accessible resource for the entire community.
