Gill Haines-Sharp

Secretary

Came to Ithaca in 1980 to attend Cornell. Rowed sweep for one year there in 1981. As many Cornellians do, I stayed in Ithaca post-graduation and was eventually hired by the Ithaca Fire department in 1987 where I worked until my retirement in 2024. 
I joined Cascadilla boat club as the parent of a rower (Colin) in 2012. About 10 years ago, I took a learn-to-row class and have been enjoying sculling ever since. 

Brian Erickson

I am currently co-treasurer of CBC. Originally from New Jersey, I rowed for Kearny High School and Nereid Boat Club. I then rowed for Ithaca College for four years and was a commodore my senior year. After many years of living in NYC, I moved back to Ithaca in 2016 and started rowing as a masters rower with CBC in 2021. I appreciate the strong CBC community and look forward to the continued growth of the club!
