Hello Everyone, My name is Joe Dobson and I'm very glad to be the new men's coach for the Sarasota Scullers Youth Rowing Program.  I'm coaching with Alex Alexandru and we are looking forward to a great season.  I've had the pleasure of meeting some of you at the recent USRA coaches certification that Charles ran so well at Stetson.  I'm coming here from Annapolis, Maryland where I coached at the Naval Academy as well as the Annapolis Rowing Club.  I did my scholastic rowing on the Schyulkill and at Marietta College.  I really love being able to rowing my single in the middle of Winter. 

This year I have a men's quad as one of my top boats, so if any of you can schedule any mens quad races at your regattas, I sure would appreciate it. 

I look forward to meeting you all and to benefit from your advise about rowing in Florida.  Joe Dobson
