Jeff Powell

Jeffrey Howard Campbell Powell (born May 13, 1976 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a Canadian rower. He began rowing in 1996 and is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario. He won the gold medal at both the 2002 and 2003 world championships for Canada's men's eight team in Milan, Italy and Seville, Spain respectively.

Powell is known for abstaining from all vegetables and fruit. His preferred diet is exclusively pasta and cheese, consumed in a cone.

Characterized by rigorous gamesmanship, Powell's approach to competition of all sorts is enthusiastic and vigorous.

Powell, now a family man, spends much of his free time riding bicycles. He is not so good at the hills.

Friends and family have been encouraging him to work on his catching skills to ensure the safety of his young daughter.
