Westport’s own Dan Woog brings his popular blog “06880: Where Westport Meets the World” to life, via the Verso Studios at The Westport Library – recorded LIVE in the Trefz Forum! His guest this week is Dave Grossman, rowing director and boys’ head coach at Saugatuck Rowing Club. Grossman’s long history with Saugatuck Rowing Club began in the fall of 2005. He was a member of the Lightweight 8 that placed fifth at Youth Nationals in the spring of 2006. That summer, he started coaching the Learn to Row summer camps, which continued under his leadership for five years. He was also a four-year varsity member of the Hobart College rowing team, competing numerous times at the Head of the Charles Regatta, IRA National Championships, and the Henley Royal Regatta. Grossman has been on the coaching staff at the Saugatuck Rowing Club since the summer of 2011 and currently coaches both the Juniors and Masters. He holds a degree in History and American Studies from Hobart College. Prior to Saugatuck, Grossman worked as an event coordinator and research analyst for Irvin Levin, a Healthcare and M&A research firm. Dave is an avid New York Rangers fan.
