HBRA - Key Persons
Amanda Morettini began rowing in 2009 on the junior's team at HBRA. She rowed for HBRA for five years and was the team captain for two. In her senior year of high school, she qualified and raced in Youth National Championships. After high school, she attended UC Santa Barbara and was a coxswain on the Varsity Rowing team. Upon moving back to Humboldt, she rowed on the Humboldt State University Varsity Women's Crew. Post-graduation, Amanda began coaching at HBRA. She is currently a local artist who creates pottery and oil paintings and continues to coach at HBRA part-time because rowing has always been one of her passions and she wants to share her knowledge and love of the sport with future generations.
Chris Dadd, an HSU alumni, has been coaching rowing for 25 years. Coach Chris loves rowing for its beauty, challenge, fitness, teamwork and most of all the camaraderie it builds in a team.
