2013 for Australia, World Championships in Lyon, France (Athlete, 06 Nov 2019)

He first practised athletics at age five at a Little Athletics club in Canberra, ACT, Australia. At school he competed against able-bodied students. He switched to Para athletics at age 12 and began competing a year later. (Athlete, 06 Nov 2019; commonwealthgames.com.au, 01 Jan 2018; paralympic.org.au, 01 Jan 2016)

As a child he wanted to compete in athletics like his older brothers. He eventually did and performed well, but he was unable to reach the level he had hoped to. His parents became aware of Para athletics in 2004 when they saw a group of Para athletes at state school championships. He was then discovered by Para athletics coach Chris Timpson at a school athletics carnival. (littleathletics.com.au, 13 Aug 2018; athletics.com.au, 01 Jan 2018)
