Ed Messina
Novice/Land Coach
Coach Ed rowed during the ancient times called the 1980s. During this age they used wooden boats and oars made from mammoth tusks. Coach Ed’s rowing philosophy is: “Go big or go bigger and row hard or row harder, either works.” Coach Ed helped start the crew team at his University, rowed in Head of the Charles, and the National Dad Vale Collegiate Regatta. Coach Ed also rowed after college for Capitol Rowing Club in Washington DC. Coach Ed is the dad of Oakton rower Max Messina, so all rowers should feel free to ask as many embarrassing questions about Max as possible throughout the rowing season. Go Oakton!
