At the 2015 Australian Swimming Championships, he made the finals the 200m Freestyle, 50m Backstroke and 100m Backstroke Multi-class events. He moved from Mackay to train with Jan Cameron at the Paralympic high performance program at the University of the Sunshine Coast.[2]
In para-athletics, he has set national junior records in 100m, 200m, discus and long jump.[4]
