When I was ten, fencing unexpected but welcome was a Friday sport option at my public primary school. Eight years later, I'm an eight-time National Champion, seven-time international medallist, and have been recruited to Penn State University as a member of its NCAA Division I fencing team.

I've been a member of the Australian Men's Sabre Team since I was 13, competing at World, Zonal and Commonwealth Championships across five continents. The Australian Fencing Federation's High Performance Program guides my progress, but getting this far has taken a community: family, friends, and strangers who opened their homes to host me for training and tournaments around the world.

Olympic selection for Australian fencers is a long game. In 2032, Australia hosts the Games. That's what I'm working toward.

I'd like to broaden that community to include business and I'm proud to be part of the 2026 Aussie Athlete Fund $1 Million Challenge.
