Mark Schofield

When Mark Schofield left FWW in 2012 to accompany his wife to Puerto Rico (her job had moved temporarily), all their friends jealously expected them to have two years in paradise. But Schofield is not a fan of the beach or of slow-moving island life, and the nearby lagoon was too choppy for his racing scull. While the couple was happy to avoid two long and bitter New England winters, they missed their garden and local rowing club. Back in Connecticut now, Schofield is happily competing in master’s rowing competitions again.
