Our Staff – Blaine

Come on in for a swim…

Justin Nelson – Hello!!! I’m Justin, the Site Director of the Blaine location. I grew up in Eden Prairie with my Mom, Dad, older sister and dogs! I love being outside, specifically at a pool, beach, out on mountain bike trails, road biking, golfing, on the lakes, camping and too many other things to list off. I love this job because of the people I work with, the kids I teach, and the fact that almost every day seems to be a little different. I can’t think of another job where you can teach the greatest kids around (best part), manage a shift, replace a pump seal, type up meeting notes, have a meeting, schedule some classes, have an interview, find time for lunch, run to Costco… But that’s what I love about it!! However, at the end of the day I always find myself sitting at the piano and relaxing. That’s me for the most part, and I hope to see YOU at the pool!

Danny Truong – Danny LOVES TO EAT!!!!! Eating authentic multi-cultural foods is his specialty. If he is not fine dining and enjoying a good meal, Danny spends the majority of his time as a dedicated Manager and trainer at FOSS-Blaine. He is also the Head Coach for the F.A.S.T.jets swim club. Danny is going to school full time for his business administration and management degree from the University of Phoenix. When there is free time, Danny likes to spend valuable time with his beloved friends and family.

Jenna Tuma – Jenna started working with FOSS in the summer of 2005 while she was completing her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology at Hamline University.  Once she graduated, she began her post as the Office Manager at our Blaine location and has been there ever since!  She got married in June 2008 and has kept busy decorating and landscaping their new home.  Outside of the pool, Jenna loves relaxing at the cabin and spending time with her family!

Erin Hollihan - Erin has been with Foss Swim School since May of 2007.  A former competitive swimmer specializing in mid-distance and distance freestyle, Erin is one of the primary coaches with the FASTjets training squads.  Erin wears many hats at Foss.  Along with coaching the “Fast” kids, you’ll find Erin behind the front desk with a huge smile and of course, on deck diligently directing swimmers, parents and instructors as a shift coordinator.  In her “free” time away from the pool, Erin enjoys decorating and remodeling projects around her house where she puts her interior design degree to good use.  If she does have any time left over at the end of her day, scrapbooking will usually fill that final spot.
