What is your rowing background?

Emma Ewell started coxing at age 10 for St. Louis Rowing Club in St. Louis, MO. During this time she placed 3rd in the Women's Lightweight 8+ at Youth Nationals and went on to compete for the United States Junior National High Performance and Selection Teams. After graduating, she was recruited to cox for the University of Alabama, Roll Tide! I loved every minute of college racing, especially in the SEC.

Assistant Coaches

Assistant Coach

Connor Graham

I’ve been rowing for 15 years and competed as a lightweight at junior, collegiate and open levels racing up and down the East Coast. I have raced in both Sweep and Sculling categories. Programs I raced for were Rocket City Rowing Club, University of Alabama Crew Club, Potomac Boat Club and plan to race with Nashville this fall.

I have 6-7 years of coaching experience with 5 years being focused on sculling development and learn to rows and 2 years as the Head Coach of the Potomac Boat Club Open Women’s Sweep team

In my free time away from the water I like to cook, have my head buried in a book, or spend time with my dog.

Daniel began rowing in 8th grade for Sarasota Scullers in 2003, medalling at the state, regional, and national level. He continued to row at Dartmouth College for both the Heavyweight and Lightweight crews, enjoying success at Eastern Sprints and IRAs.

Daniel started coaching in 2011 for Sarasota Scullers, focused on team programming for strength/conditioning, rebuilding the team roster, and small boat performance. He continued to coach in Seattle for Pocock Youth Rowing, helping develop the U17 group into a nationally competitive squad. Across his years of coaching, Daniel has specialized in fostering positive squad cultures that promote growth and success both on and off the water.

Outside of the boathouse, Daniel enjoys reading, trail running, experimenting in the kitchen, and planning new adventures with his fiancée Emily!
