Winning the Marj Morris Trophy in 2023 with the Victorian team for the first time in 19 years was very special.

For me the Dreamline XG fits perfectly in the hand. It also has a consistent line that gives you the confidence to play every shot when you step on the mat.

I started bowling at the age of 10. My parents and grandparents already played, and every weekend I would watch them play in tournaments. One day I decided to have a go and I fell in love.

I'd love to graduate from the Emerging Jackaroos to the Open Jackaroos and have an opportunity to represent the green and gold.

I enjoy playing against the best bowlers in the world, it's the best way to challenge and improve yourself. I most enjoy playing with my great mate Sophie Kurzman and watching her achieve her goals.

I had an opportunity to represent Victoria at soccer prior to an injury that led to me prioritising bowls. Perhaps in another life I would be playing high-level representative soccer.

Henselite is a great Australian brand with quality products. The way they support their athletes is second to none. I'd choose Henselite time and time again and recommend anyone starting their bowls journey to use Henselite products. If you want to be your best, then you have to arm yourself with the best products, and for me, that's Henselite.

The person I most admire is my wife Annika. She is my absolute rock and always keeps me grounded whilst still allowing me to have my head on the clouds. I know it's not easy to have a loved one constantly travelling for sport but she is nothing but supportive and without her I honestly could not or would not have achieved anything.
