Rowing has transformed my life in ways I never could've predicted. I joined originally to get into shape at the end of my Sophomore year. Beginning of Junior year I was placed on the worst boat in the program. Throughout the fall season, I gained respect, a new nickname (Big Daddy Diesel), and a spot on the 1V Eight. Since then there have been bumps in my road, but my head is always steadily looking towards championships and broken records.
