General Interest

General
COXING FEMALE CREWS
In 2017 he began coxing the New Zealand women's eight crew, following a new ruling introduced in February that year by World Rowing allowing coxes of any gender. "Personally, I don't think coxing men or women does [make a difference]. Women have to be more delicate and aware of their technique as they cannot just rely on power. In terms of boat dynamics however, it is no different. My goal was always to make the elite team regardless of sex." (stuff.co.nz, 20 Jul 2017)

FURTHER STUDIES
After completing a bachelor's degree in environmental management and planning in 2017, he completed a postgraduate diploma in business and marketing in 2019 at Massey University in New Zealand. In 2019 he also began studying for a postgraduate qualification in landscape architecture at Lincoln University in New Zealand. (rowingnz.kiwi, 01 Sep 2019; LinkedIn profile, 01 Jan 2021)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
He is an ambassador for CommUnity, an initiative that supports community groups in New Zealand. He has been part of Rowing New Zealand's partnership with the Waikato River Authority that aims to protect the river and Lake Karapiro, where the national team trains.
