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

I’m from New Canaan, Connecticut but I went to Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts. After switching from lacrosse, I rowed for Deerfield during my junior and senior years. When I showed up for practice on the first day of preseason all my coach said was, “We’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

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

I chose Dartmouth because of its strong academic reputation and picturesque location. The rowing program was particularly attractive due to the Connecticut River. I’ve rowed all over New England and I still think our water and scenery are the best around. And as I learned over sophomore summer, the river is also great for recreation. I have enjoyed canoeing, boating, waterskiing and wakeboarding on the Connecticut.

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

I tutor in statistics.

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

I have seen all 180 episodes of Seinfeld and consider myself an expert on the subject.

5. What is your best memory from rowing at Dartmouth so far?

During a spring row my sunglasses fell off my head and into the river. Without any hesitation I dove out of the boat and miraculously found them before they sunk. Winning our heat at sprints was pretty cool too.

6. What are your plans for the future?

A career on Wall Street.
