Having been selected to represent New Zealand in the Men’s U23 Eight as their coxswain at the World Rowing Championship in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. My journey as a New Zealand Coxswain is just beginning.

As a result I have now relocated to Cambridge so that I can be a part of the High Performance programme and attend trainings with the crew easier than having to travel to and from home (Tuakau). Training is up to three times a day, every day until we depart early July.

I need your help to wear the Silver Fern.

Tour Costs

$7,000 which includes airfares, food, accommodation, boat hire and uniforms.

I look forward to wearing the silver fern and representing my family, school, community and country with pride.

I hope that through my selection I will be able to help inspire current and future “Sacred Oarsman” to reach for their dreams and continue building on the “Sacred Oarsman’s” traditions too.
