Coach Joe Head Coach

Hi! My name is Joseph (or Coach Joe) and I started swimming like many of the Water Wizards at age 5 in the NVSL for Hayfield Farms in Alexandria, VA. I made all-stars 4x and swam and dove through high school and into college at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (Division III). As an undergrad, I returned to VA every summer and coached at Pinewood Lake from 2005 to 2008. I returned to the pool deck during grad school as well, coaching at Mansion House from 2013 to 2015. While in grad school, I also coached the varsity program at Xavier University in 2013 and 2014. Upon graduation, I accepted a role in athletics at the University of Evansville and served as the sport administrator for their Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving program. My wife and I returned to the DMV in late 2016 and I accepted the role of head coach at Bishop O'Connell HS, where my wife was teaching. In 2020, I stepped away from coaching not knowing what the future would hold. As we near the end of this pandemic (hopefully...), I'm excited to return to the pool deck once more, especially since my wife was a Water Wizard herself! We couldn't be more-thrilled for the opportunity to join you this summer, and we look forward to making many wonderful memories at Kings Ridge.
