Lexi was born and raised in Oklahoma. She is a former teacher— previously teaching kindergarten and 1st grade. Her husband, Derek, is a firefighter here in Oklahoma, and they have two girls together; Austyn who is 8 and Breckyn who is 2.

Their oldest daughter has always loved the water and now swims competitively on a local swim team. Their youngest daughter follows in her footsteps and is naturally drawn to water as well. As a family who loves swimming, going to the lake and traveling to new places— swim safety and the ability for children to save themselves in the event of an incident is a necessity and yet a skill that oftentimes gets overlooked. This is what sparked Lexi’s interest in SwimLife.

As she began researching survival swim lessons for her youngest, she realized the lack of resources available in her area and knew she wanted to make a change in that. Swim Life offered her the ability to do just that. She is able to continue to make a difference in children's lives, serve her community, and develop relationships with children and their families, while offering them a peace of mind unlike any other.

Lexi aims to create a customized, unique, and most importantly fun experience and appreciation of the water for swimmers of all ages and skill levels.

Lexi's notable certifications and accomplishments are:

• Swim Life Aquatic Education Specialist

• First Aid/CPR

• Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education
