Glenn Beauchemin is originally from Rhode Island and moved to the Boston area in the late 1970s where, finally at the age of thirty-seven, he discovered rowing. Within a couple of years, while on the Men’s Comp team at Community Rowing, he began coaching and eventually found his way to MITRC. Glenn has been coaching at MITRC since 2009. He especially enjoys the club’s friendly, upbeat attitude as well as the eagerness of the rowers to learn. 

John Nichols is a native Bostonian who found his way to rowing late in life (post collegiate) after beating up his body by playing contact sport his whole life.  Using rowing to lose weight and stay fit, his competitive nature  eventually led him to row with CRI.  He helped coach Learn-To-Row and Novice rowing prior to moving to Virginia where he was with Williamsburg Boat Club as a rower and as a coach for Middle School through Masters both sweep and sculling.
