2008-09 Coaching Staff

Brian Dawe, Interim Head Coach
(860) 685-4162 - bdawe@wesleyan.edu

      Since his graduation from Wesleyan in 1970, Brian Dawe has coached high school, collegiate and masters rowing and sculling at the far corners of America. He was Wesleyan's women's assistant varsity coach and head novice coach the last two years before assuming interim head coaching duties for 2008-09. Just prior to his Wesleyan appointment, he has led Bromfield School in Harvard, Mass., to five years of prominence in the girls division of the Massachusetts Public Schools Rowing Association. Since 2003 Brian also has taught sculling at the Florida Rowing Center in Wellington, Fla., in the winter while heading to the Anchorage Rowing Association in Alaska for the summers.
      Brian was the founder and first coach of women's crew at Wesleyan, starting in the fall of 1971 and competing in its first intercollegiate competition the spring of 1972. When women's crew became a varsity sport at the University, Brian headed off to Williams College as varsity men's/head coach of rowing for four years, taking them to medals at the Head of the Charles and Dad Vail Regattas. He subsequently taught mathematics and coached crew at Brooks and Belmont Hill Schools in the greater Boston area.
      Brian has had a career as principal software engineer with Agfa Corporation, which took him to Antwerp, Belgium, for two years where he sculled for T.R.T. at Hazewinkel, a World Cup and Junior World Championship course near Brussels. He still competes for Cambridge (MA) Boat Club and in 2005 rowed for the Anchorage club at the World Masters Games in Edmonton, Alberta.
