He also worked with George Washington University as a Volunteer Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for two years, working with seven different Division I teams.
 
Kuck swam at the Ohio State University in college where she was team Captain for two years and competed at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and United States Nationals. For the last 20 years, Kuck has competed in triathlons and currently holds her Professional/Elite triathlete card.
 
Kuck has assisted in the reintegration process with the Wounded Warrior Regiment at Camp Pendleton for the past four years as an assistant swimming and multisport coach at Marine Corps Trials, Warrior Games, and the Invictus Games in London.
