Masters lightweight rowing, nothing I love more than sitting at the starting line anticipating the start.  I started rowing in Upstate NY for the newly formed Burnt Hills Rowing Assoc back in 1995. I was lucky enough to have incredible coaches and I finally found a place where I belonged. I went to Canisus College as a freshman in college and completed a lightweight four where we were all named Jonathan. I then transferred to UAlbany and began coaching for Burnt Hills. I rowed for 3 years before becoming the head novice coach, and then head coach. I stayed until 2008 when I moved to CT to work at Vespoli. Wanting to get back into the other side of rowing, I started coaching for the UCONN Men's Team, then finding my way to the Riverfront Men's Racing Team. I helped lead the Team to 3 Men's Team Championships and the full National Championship in 2022. I became Assistant Director in 2017 and Director in late 2022.
My heart will always be in the Adirondacks. My husband and I camp, hike, garden, grow orchids and have pet millipedes (and cats!)
