The Voices of the Middle Branch interview series aims to celebrate the communities around the Middle Branch through visual storytelling.
Stephan, student staffer at Baltimore Community Rowing
“I started rowing in middle school when I was recruited by a rowing coach. I just happened to sign up for it because it looked interesting, and I had a friend who was already involved in the sport.
My proudest moments on the water have been during inter-squad scrimmages where I have gotten close to stronger rowers. They inspired me to improve my rowing capabilities and really develop in the sport.
At the Middle Branch, I would like to see better dock structures get built for safety reasons. I think that cleaner docks would improve the area. I also see a lot of people fish on the Middle Branch and would love the opportunity to try it out.”
