Sporting relatives:

His great-grandfather Michael O'Shaughnessy competed in rowing at club level in Canada for Brockville Rowing Club, and his cousin Martha McCabe competed in swimming at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games. (SportsDeskOnline, 01 Mar 2020; olympic.ca, 23 Jun 2015; rowingcanada.org, 05 Feb 2015)

In mid-2018 he suffered a stress fracture in his ribs during training, putting him out for two months. (recorder.ca, 28 Aug 2018)

In late 2017 he developed tendinitis in his left wrist. Unable to hold an oar, he underwent surgery to cut off part of the tendon sheath to repair it. (recorder.ca, 28 Aug 2018)

He first tried rowing at age nine. (rowingcanada.org, 05 Feb 2015)

His first experience in rowing was at a summer camp. He was age nine at the time and the minimum age to row was 11, but he was allowed to take part as he was taller than everyone else. "My great-grandfather was a rower, my grandfather was a rower, my mother was a rower. Did I really have any other choice?" (rowingcanada.org, 05 Feb 2015)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (timescolonist.com, 31 Aug 2019)

Philosophy:

PAIRS PARTNERSHIP
He has been rowing with pairs partner Kai Langerfeld since 2013. "We've rowed together at the national training centre since 2013, and we have very high standards each and every day. We've earned each other's trust and respect and that pays off in the boat." (timescolonist.com, 31 Aug 2019)

INJURIES AND AGE
In 2018, after being treated for wrist tendinitis and a stress fracture in his rib cage, he said he no longer takes it for granted when he is good health. "I'm old, I'm getting injured, is this the way it's going to go now? I'm not taking anything for granted ever anymore. I know that at any moment my body could give out on me again. You can't row like that, though. You can't row cautious like that. You just have to do everything you can to carry yourself when you're off the water." (recorder.ca, 28 Aug 2018)

RIO 2016 DISAPPOINTMENT
After the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, where Canada's men's rowing team failed to win any medals, he said he expected Canada's men to be more successful at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "It definitely didn't pan out at these [2016] Games. You can look at it and say, this didn't work. But what if [several] boats medal at the next Games? What if Canadian men's rowing gets three medals, four medals? I don't see myself being able to walk away from it after [2016]. It's unfinished business. We didn't have that success [in 2016] but I think it will pan out in the long-term." (nationalpost.com, 12 Aug 2016; thestar.com, 12 Aug 2016)
