About Us
Founded in 2018 and based in Phoenix, Arizona (the home of rowing in the desert), Row on the Go is a central place for the rowing community to connect and find other rowers, coxswains and equipment.
At the Head of the Charles a few years ago, a boat was looking for a coxswain. Someone said, “There should be an easier way to do this.” The realization struck me that there was no easy way to find a coxswain other than to stop all the small people you saw and ask them if they could steer you through the bridges.
So, it first started as an idea to connect coxswains and crews. Then one day I thought that it would also be awesome to have a website so you could easily find boats to rent at a regatta. Then I thought it would be even more awesome to connect rowers with boats and boats with rowers.
Row on the Go was born. I enlisted the help of my millennial son, Matthew, and his web-developer colleague, Max. Together we formed Row on the Go and started developing the website.

About Matthew:

With a passion for sports and an eagerness to start something new, Michelle approached him with an idea to improve the rowing community and they ran with it! After recruiting Max, Row On the Go was created and they are excited to see where it goes!
