Swimmer

The Resume

    (March 21, 1982- )
    Born in Las Vegas, Nevada
    Won two Olympic gold medals in 4x200 meter freestyle relay (2004,2008)
    Won an Olympic silver medal in 4x200 meter relay (2000)
    Won two bronze Olympic medals in 400-meter freestyle (2000,2004)

Why he might be annoying:

    He had trouble adjusting to life after sports: ‘I wasn’t a good employee…for the longest time because I expected it all to come to me as easily as swimming did.’
    After his divorce (2014), he ended up homeless and living out of his car for ten months.
    He lost visitation rights to his kids for four years.
    He lost track of several of his Olympic medals.
    He was a member of the pro-Trump mob that stormed the US Capitol (January 6, 2021).
    He made himself easily identifiable by wearing his Olympic team jacket to the riot.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His middle initial is D., so he avoided having an unfortunate monogram.
    He was part of the American team that set a world record in the 4x200 meter freestyle relay at the 2007 World Championships.
    He credited his sister Kalyn, also an Olympic swimmer, with taking him in and helping him rebound from homelessness.
    In a bizarre incident, he returned home early to discover the woman he had hired to dog sit taking a shower, two shirtless men on his couch, and a bottle of lube on an end table (2018).
