Head Coach

Alex Ghesquiere

Long before my coaching career began, I started playing ultimate in high school in 1993 because it looked like much more fun than any of the other sports people played during recess.

Outside of ultimate, I am a biomedical engineer. I have worked on glucose measuring devices for patients with diabetes for 16 years. I currently work at Senseonics in Germantown, Md., as a systems engineering manager. We make an implantable, continuously monitoring glucose sensor. I have a two-year old son named Xavier who is the best child ever.

Contrary to my nickname, my family is from Belgium (not the Netherlands), and I speak Flemish (not Dutch).

Fun Facts about Alex:

  • I’m often better known as Dutchy.
  • My family is Belgian, not Dutch.
  • My original coaching inspiration was Billy Rodriguez.
  • If I could afford being a science and math teacher, that is what I would most like to be.
