Previous Coaches

Elliot is a high rated foilist who also fenced Epee. El coached the footworking class on Monday and Wednesday, and the intermediate classes Tuesday and Thursday. He was an inspiration to many of us at DFA.

 

 

 

Adam Yergovich – Coach

The most gentle, kind, and up-beat man ever to have more massive, bulging muscles than humans should be allowed to have. While he tinkered away at tiny computer system hardware with his fingers that could probably bench press three fifty all by themselves, he would always leave you smiling so long as you did not scratch the paint on his beloved Chevy Corvette.

Ashley "Spastic Penguin" Lorenzen – Coach

Ashley had some of the best footwork you will ever see and had very clean from to the point where she preferred to just do footwork rather than actually fence. She was remarkably able to have fun doing almost anything around DFA. Whenever you saw her bright pink argyle socks, you knew it was going to be a fun, footwork intensive, class.

Tessa Murphy - Assistant Coach / Office Manager

Tessa is a saberist / foilist and managed the office, and used to coach as well.
