His sister Lauren has competed in rowing at junior level for Canada. (thespec.com, 20 May 2021; rowingcanada.org, 25 Jun 2019)

In 2018 he injured his knee while hiking. (thespec.com, 20 May 2021)

He first tried rowing in grade nine at Westdale Secondary School in Hamilton, ON, Canada. (thespec.com, 20 May 2021; what-moves-you.ca, 17 Apr 2020)

"I was in grade 10 at Westdale Secondary School when [Canadian rower] Doug [Hamilton] came down to Leander Boat Club to show off the Olympic medal to everyone. I got to hold it and feel the weight and shortly after that I went to [Leander and Westdale Secondary School coach] Andrea Miller and said, 'This is what I want to do,' and that's when I started to take it seriously." (thespec.com, 20 May 2021)

He has two or three training sessions a day. "Usually in the morning it's 20 to 25 kilometres in the water, then we have weights or erg [ergometer] or a second row later in the day. So, it's a lot. Most of the day we're training and if we're not training, we're eating or resting." (niagaraindependent.ca, 28 May 2021)
