Parents Club Board

I am the proud father of two boys, Michael (14) and Christopher (11). Michael is a freshman at Westminster and swims year round at Dynamo and Christopher is a seventh grader at Henderson Middle School and is a committed summer recreational league swimmer. Swimming is very important in both their lives and has taught them the importance of discipline, hard work and competition. Paula, my wife, is training to become a stroke and turn official, so collectively, we spend a lot of time around swimming pools.

Professionally, I am on the faculty at Georgia State University where I am Director of the Institute of Public Health – a new graduate training program at the university. The Georgia Cancer Coalition has designated me as a Distinguished Cancer Scholar, and I serve as Editor for the journal Health Education Research. My area of research is tobacco control and prior to joining Georgia State, I was Director of the Office on Smoking and Health at CDC. The last two years at CDC were spent in Geneva at the World Health Organization – an experience that broadened the perspective of all family members.

For fun, I like to travel, golf and ski, but there’s not enough time to do it all. This year, international travel has taken much of time with trips to Poland, Israel, Africa and Geneva. For the last few years, I’ve coached baseball for both Michael and Christopher at Rehoboth, but have recently stopped as swimming has taken more of their time and interest.

It is an honor to serve on the Board of Directors for Dynamo.  Dynamo Swim Club has earned a high reputation, both nationally and locally, that is based on great coaching and management, involved parents, hard-working swimmers, innovative thinking, and thoughtful financial planning.  I would be proud to be part of continuing our club in this direction.  I hope to be elected and look forward to serving on this board as Dynamo has been important to my family for many years.

 Mona and I have been married for seventeen years and have resided in Alpharetta for those seventeen.  We have three daughters.  Sydney is twelve and swims with Age Group 1 and is in her fifth year swimming with Dynamo.  Alexandra is nine and in her second year with Dynamo.  She swims with the Gold group.    Cassidy is five and can`t wait to be part of the team when she gets a little older.  All three girls learned to swim at Dynamo with their swim lessons.  Our family, especially Sydney since she has been part of the team the longest, feels part of an extended Dynamo family.  We are proud to be part of the team, as a parent, swimmer and cheerleader. 

I am an engineer by training, earning a BS in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University and an MS in Engineering Management from SMU.  Over the last ten years I have worked in health insurance with Aetna.  Originally with Aetna I worked in the Finance and Medical Economics units, but the last four years I have served as Vice President of Network Operations, responsible for the hospital and physician contracting in Georgia and the associated medical costs.   

Among my volunteer positions, I have assisted my wife over the last two years in running the Doublegate Swim Team.  Although not currently, I have been active in our neighborhood`s HOA and served as Grounds Chairman.  On any given Saturday or Sunday, Mona or I can be seen timing, flipping the event board or handling hospitality at a Dynamo meet.  Our family was very excited to volunteer at the Short Course National Championship meet last December.

Anita is married to Steven, and she is a stay-at-home mom. They have two daughters, Leah, 14, and Hannah, 12, and both swim for Dynamo in Alpharetta – Leah in AG1 and Hannah in AG2. When she’s not “mothering”, Anita likes to play tennis and volunteer at school, The Drake House, and HomeStretch.

Family: The Anderson’s relocated to Georgia in 1989 from North Carolina.  Bob is a 1985 graduated from North Carolina State University holding a BA in Business Management and BA in Economics. Wife, Jill and daughter Gentry live in South Forsyth.
