An active member of USA Swimming, Earhart served as director of the 2001 Regional Distance Camp and marshal for the 2000 Olympic Trials. He also serves as the chair of Wisconsin Swimming’s Technical Planning Committee. A product of a NCAA Division III himself, Earhart set three school records and graduated with degrees in history and political science from Buena Vista University in 1993. He earned his master’s degree in public policy from the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota in 1997.
