COACHES AND CAPTAINS

Dedication. Expertise. Passion.

Great Bridge Crew has a Coaching Staff that boasts over 70 combined years of rowing and coaching experience. The coaches are experienced and trained in rowing and safety. Our coaches guide the workouts from jon boats (called launches) that follow the shells and direct the rowers on the water.  Often, former GBCC Rowers come back to the club to give back to the program that gave so much to them.

 

If you are interested in coming back to be an assistant coach, please email board@greatbridgecrew.org

Head Coach

Matt Moreau

Head Coach Matt Moreau began his rowing career as a freshman at Great Bridge Crew Club in 2001, and was recruited to row with Marist College after graduating in 2005, where he competed at the collegiate level until 2009. That Fall, Moreau began his coaching career with GBCC as an assistant coach under Bryan Stambaugh and accepted the position of Head Coach in the Fall of 2025.


Coach Moreau brings a quarter-century of training, racing, and coaching experience to the GBCC staff. Watching this program grow from a small club with wooden boats to a nationally ranked team with a fiberglass fleet has been one of his greatest joys, and the opportunity to lead this program is one of his greatest honors.

Coach

Chris Bresnahan

Coach Chris Bresnahan grew up in the Great Bridge area and rowed all four years for Great Bridge Crew under Coach Bryan Stambaugh, alongside current Head Coach Matt Moreau. Although golf was his primary focus in high school, Coach Brez credits his experience on the crew team with developing the discipline, stamina, and work ethic that helped him succeed on the golf course and continue competing at the collegiate level.

​

After establishing roots in the community and starting a family of his own, Coach Brez found his way back to Great Bridge Crew. Earlier this year, after seeing the team practice on the water, he reached out to Coach Moreau and quickly realized how much he missed the team, the competition, and the program's unique family atmosphere.

​

Coach Brez is excited to return to the team as a coach and to help provide current rowers with the same experiences and lasting memories that made such an impact on him. He is especially grateful for the opportunity to give back to the program that played an important role in his own athletic journey.
