Board Members for 2026
CKST is supported by a volunteer parent board. This board consists of a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, two members at large, and a Columbine Knolls Recreation District representative. The board meets monthly and is responsible for supporting the team coaches and meets, and planning team events.
Our family has lived in the Columbine Knolls neighborhood since 2011. My wife, Bridget, and I have 2 daughters - Jordyn and Kayleigh. We have been swimming as part of the Dolphins since 2013, while Bridget was on the team when she was a kid. It is always the best part of the summer. I also act as the team's head official.
Chris is Colorado native, married to a wonderful transplant, Paige! They have 5 kids, Elia 11, Nash 9, Jojo 7, Lilly 4 & Seb 1. Chris grew up swimming summer league, then swam club and for his high school team. He started coaching summer league in HS, and went to coach USA and Masters level in college. This our second year at CKST, and we love the club!
I grew up in Columbine Knolls and swam for CKST as a Seahorse! Our family has lived in Columbine Knolls since 2001. Jeff and I have 3 children (Preston (former Dolphin), Andrew, and Elizabeth (current Dolphin!). In addition to my role as Treasurer, I also organize heating at CKST meets.
Our family has been a part of the CKST Dolphins since summer 2021. My husband Chris and I have 3 children and 2 swimmers on the team. Chris and I both have fond memories of swimming in summer leagues and high school and hope to create a positive and fun experience for our children to explore swimming. CKST Dolphins has created the welcoming and supportive environment we were seeking and our kids have grown to love the sport and the team atmosphere.
Lara grew up in the pool, swimming summer league and on through high school in Idaho and Montana. She is married to Brandon, who loves the water and CKST as much as she does. They have two kiddos, Matthew and Grace, who have been part of the CKST community since 2018. Lara is happy to continue to serve on the board and enjoys fostering more CKST community. Please don't hesitate to ask questions or reach out for any needs.
My family joined CKST in 2023, and it has quickly become one of our favorite parts of the summer. Growing up in Northern Virginia, I swam both summer league and year round, and later coached summer league and high school swimmers.
My husband, Jason, and I have two daughters, Emmy and Payton, who both swim for the Dolphins. I now coach children and adults in strength training and running, and I love helping athletes of all ages build confidence and reach their goals - much like our CKST coaches!
One of my favorite things about CKST is watching my girls experience the same friendships, team spirit, and excitement that made summer swimming so special for me growing up. I love the nostalgia that CKST brings and the welcoming community that makes this team feel like home.
