Head Coach

Coach Mark has coached for over 23 years. He has a daughter that use to swim and now he has a granddaughter that has started swimming. At 14 he made a decision for swimming as his one sport. That summer he won a gold medal in an international meet in backstroke. He knew he made the right decision.

Coach Mark was born here in Houston and pretty much stayed here. His philosophy is; “teach them how to swim it right and let them build it from there”. It works because he had some swimmers make it to Olympic trials. Currently, he is coaching at Houston Christian High School and has been for the last 7 years. Under Coach Mark’s leadership, Houston Christian High School boys won state and the girls won third. This was the first time for any sport under the school’s new name.
