Personal bio:

Already has a double major in Economics and Anthropology from Dartmouth College in the USA. His second BA at Cambridge will help him focus more on the elements of finance and maths. Was “forced” (his word) into rowing by his mother after failing to make the golf team. Was an Eastern Sprints bronze medallist. At High School had previously been voted Most Valued Player in the sport of swimming. Saw a Dartmouth Alumni compete in the 2002 Boat Race and was inspired. His mother is a University Professor and his father is a Real Estate Manager who was also a talented American Football player. Both parents still live in Toledo.
