Bob grew up in the Boston area and fell in love with rowing as a tiny 7th grade cox at Noble and Greenough. Competing as a cox for three years was great (including a win at Quinsigamond), but the bug to actually pull an oar started at the same time… even if the growth spurt didn’t! After competing in singles as a senior in H.S. (while still waiting for that growth spurt!), he continued to long for the rowing world whenever he saw flat water anywhere. It took 20 years but then it all happened. Thirty years of obsession! Rowing regularly on Megunticook Lake, being a principal in starting the Maine Rowing Association in 1994, inventing and running the 10 mile Megunticook Mini-Marathon for 15 years (thank you Meredith for picking that up and evolving it) and eventually coaching with Megunticook Rowing. It is just soooo much fun to be on the water in a boat or coaching a boat.
In his less important life, Bob was an attorney in Camden and then at the Maine Attorney General’s Office until his retirement in 2016 and has lived in Camden since 1978.
