2014 for Canada, Pan Pacific Championships in Pasadena, CA, United States (swimming.ca, 01 Aug 2014)

He began competitive swimming at age seven. He then took three years away to pursue football before returning to the pool at age 12. The 2013 Provincial Championships in Nepean, ON, Canada, was his first major competition as a classified Para swimmer. (paralympic.ca, 2016; therecord.com, 10 Jul 2013; kitchenerpost.ca, 04 Jul 2013)

He applied for classification as a Para swimmer in December 2012 because his coaches felt he had the potential to do well. He admitted that being classified affected his confidence, after previously competing against able-bodied opponents. "At the beginning it kind of got me down mentally because I thought, 'Oh, I'm a Para swimmer'. I thought that all of a sudden I couldn't go as fast as these other [able-bodied] guys, even though I was keeping up with them and even beating some of them." (therecord.com, 10 Jul 2013)
