New Coach Alert!

Max (he/him) has joined LMRC’s Coaching Staff in the Novice Coach position.

Max signed up for learn to row through LMRC’s Laney College grant program. He was hooked from day one because rowing combined all his favorite things: water, community, birds, physical challenges, and the need to work together. He started rowing with the novice team and he now rows with the intermediate team and cox’s for any team that needs it.

Currently Mac is enrolled at Samuel Merritt University, getting his masters degree in Occupational Therapy. His favorite foods include laminated dough, haiga rice, and anything cooked by his girlfriend/Lake Merritt’s Number One Fan, Dana Croteau. Max has a cat and a bunny and will talk to you about animals anytime you like. Or rowing. Or anything else, really.

Welcome Max!
