Coach Julian joined our team in the Fall of 2018. He came her from Montclair where he had coached for the previous eight years and served as the sole boys' team assistant coach. He started his rowing career as a coxswain when he was 12 then moved on to sculling in high school and then swept at the University of Michigan. He started coaching when he was 19 and has been at it ever since.
He coached Montclair's Boys Varsity Eight to undefeated scholastic seasons in 2017 and 2018, winning consecutive Stotesbury and SRAA gold medals. In 2018 every varsity and junior varsity boy he coached won a medal at Stotesbury. Five athletes he has coached have been selected to the junior national team. In 2018 he coached the first scholastic crew to medal at Youth Nationals in the Boys Varsity Eight since 2011. In 2017 and 2018 all of his athletes won medals at the NJ State Championships. His athletes have been recruited to six of the eight Ivies as well as the University of California-Berkeley and the University of Washington.
