Michael Gennaro

Head Coach, Yale Heavyweight Men's Rowing

Biography

I was hired as an assistant coach at Yale in the fall of 2017 and was promoted to head coach in the fall of 2023. Prior to being at Yale, I was an 8x member of the U.S. National Team, having competed in multiple World Championships at the U19, U23, and Olympic level from 2007-2016. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, which makes me a passionate, an unfortunately irrational (at times), Philadelphia sports fan. I am the 3rd oldest of 6 siblings and grew up in an Irish-Italian Catholic household with two remarkable, hard-working, selfless parents. I met my wife, Amy, at Syracuse University. I was on the men's rowing team and she was on the women's lacrosse team. We currently live in Southington, CT with our two daughters Gloria (born Sep. 2021) and Penelope (Nov. 2023). Amy is a special education elementary school teacher.

One of the first people I met when I was hired at Yale was Ryan Brasseaux, the former Dean of Davenport College. Dean Brasseaux was instrumental in the growth of my love and appreciation for our university.
