Philosophy:

"I love the team element of a team pursuit. There's no other sport like it. Five or six guys that all get on. When you line-up for a team pursuit you are going out there to ride for one another, it is going to hurt like hell but no-one will shy away from that challenge. That motivates me every day."

He received the Emerging Talent Award at the 2014 Halberg Awards in New Zealand. (newshub.co.nz, 11 Feb 2015)

HEART COMPLAINT
In 2015 a heart complaint kept him out of the sport for some time. "Not knowing what was wrong was interesting but I was thankful that a miracle of some description happened, and we still do not know what to this day, but I have recovered. I believe that things happen for a reason, and that is why I am still here today and that drives me to do something special in the sport. I get a check-up every so often but there are no issues and have not been for a few years which is great. It is not sport without adversity, you are dreaming if you think otherwise."
