Head Coach of Men’s Rowing
Sean was named Head Coach of Men’s rowing in the Summer of 2026 after having coached with the Oakland Strokes since the Fall of 2023. In that time, Sean has led the Men’s Under 17 squad to multiple Southwest Regional Championship medals and the 2026 Under 17 men’s Eight National Championship. Sean brings leadership and patience to his new role as Head Men’s coach, mentoring his athletes to get the best out of each individual.
Prior to Oakland Strokes, Sean was the Men's Head Coach of Atlanta Junior Rowing Association, and the Men's Varsity coach for the Georgia Institute of Technology. He has coached boats to compete at the Youth National Championships (winning two years in the Adaptive and Inclusive 2x), coached boats competing at the Head of the Charles Regatta (winning the Collegiate 4+), and many other national regattas. His coaching approach includes a positive team culture, a growth mindset, and a value of hard and smart work.
Sean began rowing in 2004 as a freshman in high school for St. Andrew Rowing Club, where he placed 4th in the Lightweight 8+ at the Youth National Championships. From there he went and rowed for Georgia Tech as a heavyweight and lightweight, where he won and medaled at events including the Dad Vail Regatta and the Head of the Charles. In 2009, he won the Elite National Championships in the Lightweight 2- with Vesper Rowing Club. After graduating, he trained at Penn AC and CRI, where he then stroked the USA Lightweight 8+ at the 2013 World Rowing Championships, getting a bronze medal.
