Paul will begin his first season coaching the
varsity crews in Fall '08. Last year (Paul's first with the club), he acted as an assistant for the novice crew. Paul's exceptional rowing knowledge have made hime a valuble asset to the club. We are glad he can
continue to help out at ODURC.
Paul attended the US Naval Academy, earning
a bachelor's degree in physics. While there he rowed Lightweight Crew
for 4 years, facing many other teams in the EARC.
He is currently a Lieutenant in the US Navy
working in the area. He is qualified in submarines, and recently
returned from a 3-year tour in Guam onboard USS City of Corpus Christi.
His hobbies: "I ride my road bike often,
and enjoy most other sports. I also like breathing, sleeping, eating,
sleeping, and snooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrre. Huh! Where am I?"
