EDWARD 'TED' PHOENIX
Ted Phoenix was a decorated Vietnam and Persian Gulf veteran and a Commander in the United States Navy. After a 25-year military career, Phoenix helped develop the Government Emergency Telecommunications Service and Wireless Priority Service for SAIC with the Department of Homeland Security. In his personal time, Phoenix advocated and contributed to the growth of scholastic rowing in the greater Washington area. In 1983, he helped Potomac High School in Woodbridge grow its fledgling program, and his passion for supporting local rowing programs evolved to the regional level as he assumed leadership positions with the Northern Virginia Scholastic Rowing Association and its successor, the National Capital Area Scholastic Rowing Association (NCASRA)(which then became VASRA in 2008). At the time of his death in 2004, Phoenix was the president of NCASRA, on the Board of Directors of the Scholastic Rowing Association, and on the Board of Directors of USRowing.
