Charlotte began in high school while John first picked up an oar as a freshman at Cornell University. Both have rowed on the U.S. National Team, winning several international medals. Charlotte s coaching career has taken her west to Stanford University before heading back east to Boston University and then Cornell University. John remained close to home, coaching at his alma mater, first as the frosh lightweight coach, then varsity lightweight and finally varsity women, for 18 years. It was at Cornell that Charlotte and John first met and then married in 1995. In 1998, Charlotte and John tried something a little different and started coaching sculling at a master's camp. They enjoyed it so much that they immediately set out to start a sculling camp of their own. Calm Waters Rowing is the culmination of two years of extensive searching and planning.
