COMPETING FOR TURKEY
He previously represented Jamaica at international level but in 2015 switched to compete for Turkey having moved to the country in 2012. "A lot of people leave their country to live in other countries and I just chose to live in a different country and I am representing them. In life you have to learn to live with your decisions, and the best you can do is work to make each decision be of benefit."
