David Chan Member profile David Chan
Previously, a sweep rower in high school. My goal is to get back into competitive rowing for fun and fitness.  I am able to row either starboard or port in a crew and just learning the art of sculling.  Will participate in either singles or doubles.  My first sculling race ever was in a double at the Head of Miss in 2011.  For fitness, I also like to hit the gym, kayak and bike. 

I am semi-retired and volunteer my time to different community activities.  I pursue other hobbies like woodworking, playing the sax and golfing.

I am willing to help build the club any way I can.

I am a junior at Century High School.  I swim for Century and heard about the rowing club through a teammate.  I want to row because I think it will be a lot of fun and I think it is a great way to stay in shape during the off season of swimming.

Phil, per your request, I'm registering so you have my information.  I am not always the best at checking my e-mail address, so either my cell phone or home phone are the best ways to get in touch with me if you want a faster turnaround.

Fred Hafferty Member profile - no photo available Fred Hafferty
I'm an older master's rower -- who came to rowing when I no longer could play competitive hockey.  I am happily married (Cindy) with two sons, one in graduate school (Phil) and one in college (Dave).  My rowing goal is to make it to the Head of the Charles -- in part so I can visit son #2 in the process. My slightly longer term goal is to make it back to the CRASH Bs in 2011 for a second visit to the land of the Charles.

I heard about rowing at school, although I could not attend the meeting because I had a schedule conflict.  I am very active physically as a member of the Lourdes Cross Country, Swimming, and Lacrosse teams and I also lift weights regularly.  I am interested in trying rowing because the sport seems like it will be physically demanding and a fun new challenge.

     “In the world of sports, there are athletes and there are rowers. Athletes work hard to reach their limit. The rower does not think of limits, only the race.”

I try to come to practice with an open mind and hope to not only improve others but grow and learn myself.
