Mindy first started rowing a single when she was 25 years old for a couple of years. She picked it back up 7 years ago and can’t imagine not being a part of this community. She loves rowing in the 8+ and in her double on Lake Leelanau the best.

Susan has been rowing for over 10 years and loves everything about the sport! She loves the solitude of rowing her single on Lake Leelanau and the teamwork and camaraderie of rowing in larger shells with others. Susan is an educator for Northwest Education Services and holds a Bachelor's degree in English and French and a Master's Degree in Educational Administration.

Cindy has been rowing for the past six years. An avid athlete all of her life, she fell in love with rowing and enjoys spending as much time on the water as she can. Her favorite boat is the quad, but she’s happy to jump into an 8+. When she’s not rowing, she is a marketing consultant by day and the proud mom of three boys.

A life-long water person, Lindy began rowing in 2016. She enjoys rowing 8+, but the 4+ is her favorite. Rowing checks many boxes for Lindy; connection with the water and nature, a good workout, and a vibrant NMRC social community. When Lindy is not rowing, she enjoys competitive canoe racing, and curling. She is raising two awesome girls with her partner, Tom, and works with the Leelanau Conservancy as Event and Volunteer Manager.

Daniel was an active cross country runner who began his rowing career at Michigan State in 1999.

Fast forward 24 years; marriage, 5 kids, and a business, he needed to get on the water again.

He loves pulling hard on any starboard oar, in any boat, including a pair (yee haw!) and is learning to row a currently very wobbly racing single.
