The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race sponsored by Xchanging

Has already enjoyed a very successful international rowing career, competing for both Canada and the USA. Was part of the men’s 4 that won the worlds in 1999 for the US and finalist in the 2000 Olympics finishing 7th (men’s quad). Took 2 yrs to study and for a mountaineering accident, which meant a shoulder reconstruction he came back and moved across to the Canadian team, coached by Mike Spracklen. In 2003 he won the World Championship in the men’s 4 and in Athens 2004 Olympics won the silver medal (men’s four).Rowed with fellow team mate Barney Williams (Boat race winner 2005) with Canada in the World’s and Olympics and he was a big influence in him coming to Oxford, as well as the educational opportunities. Plans to return to Canada after his year in Oxford to continue rowing and prepare for the next Olympics.
