His grandfather Malcolm Hill played Australian rules football, and won a premiership with Hawthorn Football Club in 1961. (abc.net.au, 27 Jul 2016)

He grew up playing football, cricket and basketball while living on his family's citrus and wine grape property in the Riverland region of South Australia. He began rowing after moving to the state's capital, Adelaide, at age 16 in 2009. (worldrowing.com, 01 Jan 2016)

"I knew nothing about rowing until I went to school at Prince Alfred College. I moved down there in year 10, my eldest sister was rowing at the time and I thought I would give it a crack while doing a few other sports. It turned out I wasn't too bad so I carried on, made a few state teams and a junior Australian team, which was pretty exciting." (abc.net.au, 27 Jul 2016)
