CAREER HISTORY
A year after competing at the 2012 Olympic Games in London in the men's coxless four, he switched from sweep oar to sculling during the 2013/14 southern hemisphere summer. He began in the men's quadruple scull, and in July 2015 competed with Robbie Manson in the double scull for the first time. The duo won bronze at the 2015 World Championships in Aiguebelette, France, in their second regatta together. In 2017, he paired up with John Storey in the double scull, the duo securing a quota place for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo by finishing eighth at the 2019 World Championships in Linz Ottensheim, Austria. After Storey retired in April 2021, he was partnered with Jack Lopas for the 2020 Games.
