Michael Zonnenberg – the Davis/Emma Family Assistant Coach for Sailing – is Brown Sailing's third full-time assistant coach in program history and began in the fall of 2018 with the Bears. He enters his fourth season with the program in 2021-22.

During the team’s first season as a varsity program in 2020-21, Zonnenberg helped the Bears win both the NEISA Women’s and Coed Championships. He aided Brown in qualifying for all three spring national championships with the team placing fourth, sixth, and 11^th at the ICSA Women’s, Team Race, and Coed National Championships respectively.

A 2015 graduate from the University of Vermont, Zonnenberg was named a Second Team All-New England Skipper and was the winner of the New England Senior Award in 2015. Having him at practice on a daily basis and coaching every weekend has been instrumental for the team’s development.

Zonnenberg has been a coach on the youth circuit and an active racer since college and lives in Bristol, R.I.
