From 2011 to 2013, Hussey served as the women’s rowing graduate assistant at Purdue University where he completed his master’s degree in Kinesiology. While at Purdue, he led the novice women’s squad to an ACRA national championship in the NW4+ in 2013.

Before arriving at Purdue, Hussey spent three years as the assistant women’s coach and recruiting coordinator at Hamilton College. He helped guide the women’s team to its first-ever top-10 finish in the CRCA Coaches Poll in 2011.
