About me

Introduction	I am a 50 yr old dad of 3 girls, Sierra, Summer & Serena, husband to Robin and son of a mother who wonders what she did to make me want to do this swim! I’m an average swimmer with extraordinary love & respect for the ocean. I know after many hours in the sea that there is a God. He has to be real to make such wild sea creatures & plants, and to make my senses able to enjoy them so much! I do wish that God had made the ocean a bit warmer sometimes or my hairy back hairier so I’d have the pelt of an otter to keep me warm. I have no fear of sharks, jelly fish or faster swimmers. None of them seem to be interested in me so I get the Ocean to enjoy in my own time and space. The part I look most forward to on my swim is the first stroke and the last. I will have the names of my kids sharpied on my arms, as well as the names of the kids we are supporting in Mexico. Our girls have learned that we really are all brothers and sisters regardless of where we live. After completing the swim I look forward to a long hot tub session and then seeing my Mexican kids in school in their neighborhood of El Nino.
