POLISH HERITAGE
He was born in Canada but has family heritage in Poland, and has a Polish passport. "I have Polish roots because my mother comes from a small town near Kielce. It is less than an hour away from Krakow. I have a few cousins there on my mum's side." (siatka.org, 12 Aug 2017; ivolleymagazine.it, 15 May 2020)

MOVE TO ITALY
After graduating from the University of York in 2016, he moved to France to play professionally for Arago de Sete in 2017. In 2019 he moved from France to Italy to join Top Volley Latina, where he earned the nickname 'The Woodcutter' from the team's press officer Giuseppe Baratta. "One day I showed up at the gym in a plaid shirt and he [Baratta] told me that I looked like a Canadian lumberjack. That's where it all started, and now the fans call me that too, and I also like it." (volleynews.it, 14 Nov 2020; top-volley.it, 01 Jan 2020)
