As Co-Founder and President of Aqua-Tots Swim School Franchise Holdings, I oversee strategic planning, growth and franchise development of all Aqua-Tots Swim School openings worldwide. As pioneers in the swim school industry, we broke ground on a dream in 2005 with one indoor pool, and today, that dream is reality in 165 communities across 14 countries as the world’s largest swim school franchise. After the rapid international growth and success of Aqua-Tots Swim Schools, I have been fortunate to come alongside leaders in other industries, partnering with multiple brands to create franchise opportunities, and I am passionate about offering people a safe place to live out their dreams—in business and in community. Today, I also serve as an owner and partner of KTR Indoor Action Sports Playground and Uncle Bear’s Grill and Tap franchises. I am also the co-founder of The Scuba Shop, a full service PADI Scuba Diving Training Center, and Legacy Adventures, a non-profit focused on connecting fathers with their children in the great outdoors. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, fly fishing, cribbage and spending time with my wife of 30 years, Heather, and our two children, Emma and Spencer.
