I am a Tasmanian kayaker, specializing in ocean and wildwater racing. Over the past few years I have been steadily improving my results.

I am planning my most ambitious season campaign at the Australian Ocean Racing Series, aiming to attend 6-7 races interstate in the second half of 2024. To aid my preparation I also plan to compete in as many local events around Tasmania as possible, including the Hobart-based Surf Safari again.

Tasmanians are well known for punching above our weight in national and international competitions. This reputation could not have been possible without the support of local Tasmanian businesses and organisations.  

In 2022 I achieved my strongest ever ocean racing results in the Australian Ocean Racing Series (AORS). I finished 11th over the line, and 6th in my category (open male) at the Queensland-based Hells Gate 38 race in June. This was the longest race in the AORS for 2022. I also finished 2nd overall in the Surf Safari in Hobart, then 28 over the line and 14th in my category at the AORS finale, the 20 Beaches Ocean Classic . At the start of 2023 I continued to build on these results and I was crowned with the national title over the classic distance at the Australian Wildwater Kayaking Championship. I also won the Tasmanian State Ocean Racing Championship.

Following an injury during the 2023 winter, I struggled to find any consistent form or results through my major events. I began 2024 well though, placing second in both the national selection event in Wildwater and the Tasmanian Ocean Racing Championship. This year I am looking for redemption and aiming to achieve career best results on the national ocean racing scene.

Outside of competition I work as a psychologist developing athletes to build their mental performance skills. I often build on my own experiences as an athlete racing at national and international level alongside evidence-based therapeutic interventions to develop programs and supports for athletes.
