PLAYING PARTNER
He first teamed up with playing partner Chris McHugh in 2017. They were split up two months after triumphing together at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, QLD, Australia, in order to try and earn two quota places for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, before resuming their partnership in early 2020. "We climbed our own little Everest. And we've had a pretty full-on taste of what quarantine will be like during competition in Thailand [at the 2021 Asian Volleyball Confederation Continental Cup] so I feel we're ready." (dailytelegraph.com.au, 03 Jul 2021; volleyballaustralia.org.au, 01 Feb 2019; paleohero.com.au, 28 Jul 2017)
