- Party Trick: I can do the worm (after a beer or 2)
- Favourite CrossFit moment: My first Open in 2023. Friday Night Lights for 23.2; workout went well. But the support, the community was so special. Really made me realise what CrossFit is all about. That and hitting 100kg Clean and Jerk, that was big for me. (We all have a number we want to get).
- Favourite Coaching moment: Too many; seeing athletes surprise themselves thinking something wasn’t possible. We do the work together, get the right coaching in place and… oh hello… knew you could do it. Always great.
- Most humbling CrossFit moment: Southern Rivals Quads competition Oct 2023. Came face to face with my weaknesses that day. Knew I had to get back to class and work on them to get better.
- How would you describe yourself: Laidback, rugby loving dad….humbly energetic if you will hahaha

- Favourite Shoe: Reebok Nano X
- Favourite Workout: Diane (its not even close)
- Most savage Workout: Sam Harlow and Brett Lilley programmed a nightmare workout for one of our in-house competitions. There was Echo Bike, into Cleans, into a Max Clean and Jerk…. I swear it nearly ended me!
