MEET
OUR TEAM

From my family’s backyard pool to amazing times at the lake cabin, water is a constant in my favorite family memories and amazing times with my friends. I understand and respect the need for safety and I’m a grateful recipient of the fun and enjoyment found in my own confidence when around water.

I have always had the entrepreneur itch and drive, knowing that many of my professional challenges have prepared me well to go off on my own. The ability to combine my professional background, my love and respect of water, working with my wife and business partner Christa, and fulfilling my entrepreneur spirit is a dream come true. We look forward and feel honored to teach your families the important life skill of swimming!

I’m a people person, born and raised in Sioux Falls. Caring for others is in my blood. I come from a family of multiple generations in medicine and education, and I have spent the majority of my career in the healthcare field of Clinical Research. After attending the University of Iowa, what drove me in Clinical Research was caring for others and developing personal connections and trust with patients. Serving others is in my roots. It’s what I know and who I am.

With my background, along with my husband and business partner Dan who brings 20 years of business experience to the table, and a proven, fast-growing swim school business concept, it is easy to get excited about bringing SafeSplash to Sioux Falls. I know first-hand from a lifetime of summers at my family lake cabin, beach vacations with family and friends, and my lifeguarding experience for the City of Sioux Falls how important water safety skills are for everyone. I look forward to serving families and kids in my hometown and feel honored to teach such an important skill for lifelong fun and safety in the water!
