Pete Giese is in his fourth year as the Assistant Men's Rowing Coach and Freshman Coach. He came to Stanford after completing undergraduate (B.S. English, B.S. Philosophy) and graduate (J.D. Wisconsin School of Law) work at the University of Wisconsin.
"It is great to work with such outstanding scholar-athletes on a daily basis," Giese said. "These young men embrace every athletic and academic opportunity that Stanford affords them, and it is exciting to be a part of."
Giese began his rowing career as a novice walk-on for the University of Wisconsin. Before he graduated, he earned three varsity letters and established many boathouse erg records that still stand. Moreover, he helped lead the Badgers to two gold and one silver medal at the Eastern Sprints, a silver and bronze medal at the IRA, and posted 1st and 3rd place finishes in the Championship Men's Eight at the Head of the Charles.
Pete also competed on the U.S. National Team and raced in two Under-23 World Championships. In 2001, he placed fourth in the Men's Pair (Linz, Austria) and sat 4-seat in the gold medal winning Men's 8+ in 2002 (Genoa, Italy) where he raced with Stanford alum Jamie Schroeder.
