Personal bio:

Now in his final year of his course at Oxford. Started rowing but soon realised he was not the right build. Therefore, turned to coxing because in his own words he was small and mouthy. First in his family to come to Oxford. Was a Henley Royal Regatta finalist in 2004 with Isis BC (coxed four). Part of the Balliol first eight from 2002 2005.
