General
ROWING BREAK
In 2021, he said he had no regrets about taking a break from representing New Zealand after competing at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Hamburg, Germany. "'The best decision I have made in my rowing career to date was turning down trials for New Zealand's U23 and elite team. I made this decision to continue my studies at the University of Canterbury, and that choice is what has enabled me to be a part of New Zealand's elite team today. Throughout my break from professional rowing I competed in the New Zealand university rowing team, which allowed me to travel overseas and maintain my competition experience, whilst strengthening my relationship with Rowing NZ." (rowingnz.kiwi, 20 Jan 2021)

FURTHER STUDIES
After completing a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019, he began studying for a master's degree in management at Massey University in New Zealand. (LinkedIn profile, 17 May 2021)
