He also won three gold medals at the 2007 World Rowing Cup regattas and gold at the 2007 Henley Royal Regatta.

Dominic graduated from Dartmouth College in 1998 with a BA in Psychology and Environmental Studies. In the summer of 1997, he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, but he recovered to return to school and captained the heavyweight crew in his senior year. Dominic learned to row at St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware.[4]
In 2005, Dominic completed his MBA in Competitive Business Strategy and Marketing at the William E. Simon Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of Rochester (Rochester, NY). While in New York and after his first year of graduate school, Dominic rowed across Lake Ontario to raise money for cancer research and children diagnosed with cancer. The trip was 130 kilometers from Rochester, New York, to Kingston, Ontario and raised money for the J.P. Wilmot Cancer Center (at the University of Rochester Medical Center) and Camp Trillium (Ontario).
