He won a gold medal at the 1993 World Rowing Championships in Račice with the lightweight men's four.[1] Kerber is currently the Head Coach of Men’s Rowing at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Prior to Hobart, Kerber coached in numerous programs, including Cornell Lightweights and LaSalle College High School in Philadelphia. Kerber’s Cornell lightweight varsity eights won the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship in 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2019. His teams won the Jope Cup in 2014 and 2015.[2]

In 2014, Kerber's Cornell crew were Temple Challenge Cup semi-finalists at Henley Royal Regatta, falling to the eventual champions Oxford Brookes University.[3] In 2015, Kerber's varsity crew returned to Henley, again reaching the semi-final of the Temple Challenge Cup, where they fell to the eventual champions A.S.R.
