Macon spent five years prior to joining UNCA working with high school swimmers and divers as a diving judge, meet referee, stroke and turn judge, along with serving as the Head Diving Coach at Asheville High School. During his stint in Asheville, all of his divers have qualified for regional competition, and most have placed in the top 12 at the North Carolina High School State Championships.
