Personal bio:

Almost decided to play lacrosse instead of rowing to satisfy his schools sports requirement, but was persuaded by a friend (who subsequently found rowing too great a time commitment and dropped it). Has raced internationally for the past five summers. Bronze medallist at junior world championships in 2000 (coxed four), fourth at World U23 championships in 2001 (pair) and bronze in 2002 (pair). Took the Pan American Games title (eight) in 2003 and was a World Championships (senior) bronze medallist in 2004 (coxed four). Was captain of Yale in 2003/4 and would like to continue training with the US squad after his year at Oxford. Has two younger sisters who also row, Carolyn at Georgetown and Liz at Episcopal.
