He is the co-founder and CEO of a software firm that developed an online writing tool called Outwrite. The business is based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. "I still have no sponsors. I guess you can say in a way that my business is now sponsoring my athletic endeavours. I don't do the sport for the money, because there's none in it."
