He was born within sight of the Husky boathouse four years before the late famed Hiram Conibear became crew coach in 1907. He grew tough rowing daily two miles across Lake Washington to and from high school in Seattle. Entering Washington in 1922, he at once turned out for crew, rowed in the freshman shell that took second place at Poughkeepsie the following spring.
