Coach Meyers, a Wisconsin Native, has been in the greater Austin area for 8 years now. He swam for Manitowoc Lincoln High School and the Manitowoc area YMCA swim teams from 8th grade (when he discovered he couldn't play basketball well) through High School, graduating in 1993. He qualified for state in the 200 and 500 freestyle. He went on to swim for the University of Wisconsin for two years before shifting gears (literally) to drive big rigs. He was also a member of the Wisconsin Army National Guard during this time. He moved careers again when he started a family with his wife and started working foundry steel working jobs. He transitioned to CNC operations and eventually was elected VP and Bargaining Chair of a UAW bargaining unit in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In 2016 he decided to return to school as a 40 year old and finished his degree in History and Economics, choosing to move to Texas at that point and pursue a teaching career. He has spent the last 7 years at the middle school level, coaching football, basketball, track, and soccer. He is looking forward to coaching this team and building a program that Rouse High School can be proud of.
