Brian Jamieson won a silver medal in the quad sculls at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Jamieson also won silver in that event at the 1995 Pan American Games. He rowed at three World Championships, three times in the quad and once in the double sculls, but never graced the podium there. In 2016 he was inducted into the US Rowing Hall of Fame along with the entire 1996 quad sculls crew.
Jamieson rowed at Yale, where he started as a novice. He was a physics major at Yale, and eventually earned master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Michigan in electrical and biomedical engineering, respectively. He later worked on analytic instruments for many of NASA’s flights. He became President of Scientific & Biomedical Microsystems, a business devoted to engineering tools designed to solve challenging problems in the fields of medicine, biology and oil exploration.
