Budd graduated from Lawrenceville School in 1957, and then attended Yale University, where he rowed in the varsity eight as a sophomore, and the junior varsity in his junior and senior years. He spent a postgraduate year at Trinity College, Cambridge, and rowed in the winning Cambridge blue boat in the 1962 Boat Race.^[2]

He then joined Philadelphia's Vesper Boat Club, winning national titles in the pairs, fours, and eights in 1964 and 1965, as well as an Olympic gold medal in the eights in 1964, and a bronze medal in the eights at the 1965 European championships.^[3]
