Assistant Coach

Bucky has been coaching the Middle School program at LOCR since 2023.

A late start youth rower at age 16, Bucky found quick success in Novice and Varsity 4+ and 8+ races. Since then, he has continued to row and accrued 8+ years of experience in mixed boats. He’s experienced it all: sculling, sweeping, switching sides, and even getting over career-threatening injuries.

He still competes at the Masters level in whatever boat he can get into.

Bucky has four years of coaching experience in collegiate and youth rowing.
