General Interest

General
REPRESENTING IRELAND
Having previously represented the United States of America, in 2015 he announced that he would move to Dublin with a view to representing Ireland at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. His father Thomas is from Portarlington, Ireland. He moved to Dublin in May 2015 to complete the one-year residency requirements to be eligible to compete for Ireland. His decision to represent Ireland was swayed by the passionate support athletes receive from the public in Ireland. "The Olympic Games is such a big honour, going for either the US or Ireland, but I'd rather pick Ireland because there it's such a passionate country. The sport over here is much different than it is in the US but I think it's more dedicated." (swimswam.com, 03 May 2015; utv.ie, 10 Dec 2015)
