Q&A

What has been your greatest moment in rowing?

There are too many to select from but the most recent was the phone call from USRowing that offered me the opportunity to return to rowing after 25 years.

To have the chance to address a number of ‘constructive opportunities‘ within a sport that shaped my personal life and career, along with the opportunity to work with a number of old friends and former colleagues, is compelling.
