Gerben Scherpbier is the son of Harm and Titia Scherpbier, both his mother and father rowed collegiately.

1. Where are you from and whom did you row for prior to Dartmouth?

I am from Fort Washington, Pennsylvania and I rowed for Upper Dublin High School as well as Bachelors Barge Club on Boathouse Row in Philadelphia.

2. Why did you choose Dartmouth and the Dartmouth Rowing Program?

I chose Dartmouth because of its amazing location, all of the outdoor opportunities, and the really fun, welcoming atmosphere of the school.
Dartmouth's rowing program was also a big factor in my decision because after my official visit I knew that Dartmouth's close knit team was something I really wanted to be a part of.

3. What do you participate in at Dartmouth, apart from rowing?

N/A- but hopefully the outing club

4. Tell me something about yourself that might come as a surprise to your teammates.

I am a dual citizen of the United States and The Netherlands.

5. What are your plans for the future?

I plan on becomming an environmental engineer, but I also hope to do some work in wilderness education for at-risk youth.
