Greg Wood | Head Coach

Greg first began rowing while attending Texas A&M Galveston, and like many of our rowers, immediately fell in love with the sport. As a college student and athlete, Greg then founded the Texas A&M University Crew team, which has been a thriving and winning club ever since.  Greg has traveled the world using rowing to teach team building and leadership training to companies around the world and then founded a youth-focused rowing organization in Texas. Through those experiences, Greg learned that building and growing teams is his true strength and passion.

Whether developing Juniors rowing programs, teaching team building and leadership, or coaching Masters’ rowers, Greg loves to use his passion to help each rower achieve their full potential both on and off the water.

Eric Post | Assistant Coach

Eric’s rowing career began seven years ago at the University of Tampa, where he had the privilege of learning the sport under world-class rowers Bill Dunlap and Helen “Call” Collins. He fell in love with the emotional and physical challenges rowing offered, and began coaching with the hopes of cultivating that passion in future rowers.
