Assistant Crew Coach

Biography:

Coach Andrew started rowing late in his collegiate career at LaSalle University. In his first season he was coxswain to Men’s Novice/Frosh 8+, placing in the Murphy Cup and Frostbite Regatta in the fall of 2010 and then in the Spring of 2011 making the semifinals in the Dad Vail Regatta in the Men’s Frosh/Novice 8. In his second and third seasons 2011-12 he was at the helm of Men’s Novice 4+ and then Men’s JV4+, placing 1st in the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta. After his collegiate career, rowing was still ever present in the heart and mind as he became a booster and fan with fellow alum and teammates every year at the Dad Vail Regatta on the Schuylkill River. 

 

Andrew became involved in rowing again when he volunteered to help as an assistant coach for Haddonfield Girls Novice Crew team in the spring of 2024. The girls novice 4+ had a very successful spring season, medaling in most events including Garden States and City Championship. 

 

Coming back to the sport this time as a coach was as unexpected as it was to join the team as coxswain back at LaSalle, however has been truly a rewarding experience and been incredible to rediscover the love for the sport, helping to build a successful team and fostering that team comradery that was so important to his own memories and passion of the sport. 

 

Off the river, Andrew holds a Bachelor's degree in History and Secondary Education from LaSalle University and is a high school History teacher in Cherry Hill, NJ. Outside of the passion and dedication he holds for rowing he is an avid golfing hobbyist.
