Jon began swimming competitively at age 4, growing up just minutes from a world-class aquatic facility. He later swam collegiately for Auburn University (2007 National Champions) and the University of Michigan, where he was an NCAA Division I All-American and part of Big 10 championship teams. He also qualified for the 2008 Olympic Trials, experiences that have shaped his high standards and aspirations.

Jon’s philosophy centers on team unity + individual growth. He believes every swimmer’s journey is unique, but that the collective strength of a team, support, accountability, and shared goals can elevate everyone. His coaching places intentional focus on technical excellence, purposeful training, and developing self-belief. A favorite quote: “Whether you believe you can or cannot, you are right.”
For our THSC families and swimmers, Jon serves not just as a coach, but as a mentor and partner: educating, pushing boundaries, and helping every athlete succeed, whether in their first swim meet or competing at higher levels. He aims to build a culture of commitment, excellence, and greatness, where success is growth in all its forms.
