My name is Scott Brooke, I’ am a 23 year old electrician from west London. I’ve known Matt for the best part of my life as a friend and neighbour. And ever since his first ocean row the seed was planted for the idea of me to also row the Atlantic. As part of this team I hope to achieve the dream of becoming an ocean rower! I have outgoing personality and a never say die attitude, I work out and play many sports but have never rowed before so this will be a huge challenge for me in every aspect!
