San Francisco born and raised. My degree is in Industrial Engineering from U.C. Berkeley, and I'm one of the oldest lifeguards here. As a volunteer, I help manage Timpany's website and solve IT problems. I was previously a member for 8 years, and now enjoy teaching swim lessons to new swimmers as well. The smiles and achievements of my students are more valuable than tangible rewards.
