:
He took up Para sport after being repeatedly injured while playing able-bodied sports due to his haemophilia. "It's unique and ironic, I guess, that there's this stigma that you shouldn't be playing sports, but that was also my window or my opportunity into sports, because the injuries that resulted from the haemophilia are what opened the door to Para sports."

General
CREWMATE SEARCH
When he first joined the Canadian national team he was the only rower in the PR2 class. He began competing in single sculls, which was not included as an event for PR2 rowers at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. He began a campaign to find a partner and in 2019 teamed up with Jessye Brockway. "By the spring of 2019, there wasn't a whole lot of movement in finding a partner, so I started a social media initiative. It all started with an article from the St. Paul Journal. I had contacted all of my teammates on the able-bodied side, the Para side, anyone I knew in sports or any of my friends, just asking them to push this out on all of their social media channels."

OCCUPATION AND FURTHER STUDIES
He works part-time in the biomechanics and data science department at the Canadian Sport Institute [CSI] Pacific. After the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo he aspires to expand his role with the CSI while studying for a PhD in sports science. He has already earned a master's degree in biomedical engineering.
