Meet Our Team

President

Eric Thorson

Member since mid 1990’s.  I see WRPC as a year round gateway to the natural splendor in our front yard.  We seek to provide equal opportunity for all to safely enjoy human powered activity, wildlife and collegiality on our local rivers.

Vice President

Malcolm Butler

Malcolm rowed in the stroke seat of the Cornell Varsity 8 back in the Paleocene era, sculls avidly today, and has built 4 kayaks and a canoe. He may be found many mornings dripping sweat, catching his breath, with the sunrise reflecting off the deck of his shell.

Secretary

Hugh Owen

I joined WRPC in 2015 after retiring from Chelan PUD. I soon became an avid paddler. I really enjoy my membership.  My time on the Board has been both productive and rewarding.

Crew Coach

Dave Hyde

Masters Rowing Program Co-Director.

I joined the WRPC Crew in 2008 with the hope that it would make me taller. 

I love to row, paddle, help others to learn as well. Malcolm and I co-coach the Masters Crew.

Come race with us!
