When she’s not coaching, Jessica is always on the move, cheering on the Cubs at Wrigley Field, exploring thrift and antique shops, catching live music at concerts, or traveling (especially to Wisconsin). She prioritizes staying active, whether it's hitting the gym, walking her dogs, or tackling new challenges like testing out recipes, diving into DIY projects, or getting lost in a good book. Above all, she cherishes time with family and friends, making the most of every moment together. |

Started swimming when he was 5 and swam through high school at OEHS graduating in ’08. Swam for a year at C.O.D. until their program was Disassembled. “My coaching philosophy is quite simple, teaching kids about swimming and how being a swimmer does not end in the pool. Life lessons are taught in every aspect of swimming and it is our job as coaches to teach our swimmers how to hone these skills for not only their careers as swimmers but also to carry them on in other aspects of their lives. Success and failure happen everywhere I find it extremely important to teach swimmers how to take success and failure as a stepping stone, this is not where your journey ends.” When not in the pool you can most likely find coach Temo somewhere watching some kind of Chicagosports team.
