J.R. brings the same passion of the sport combined with his unwavering commitment to a positive and respectful team atmosphere to Lake Shore Country Club.
A PIAA team state runner-up title in the swimming and diving competition for the Fairview boys team helped J.R. earn the honor of the 2011 AA Boys swimming coach of the year.
