About Me:
Originating in a farm on the outskirts small rural town of Waikaia. Like most New Zealanders ignorant to the glory of Nordic Sports. I discovered Biathlon at the Snow Farm when I was 14 years old. This occurred in unison with the complete re-vitalization of Biathlon in New Zealand. At 16 years I committed fully to the sport aided by the Wanaka Biathlon Club. Traveling to Obertilliach to train during the summer holidays in the IBU developing nation’s camp. The next year I joined the Sweden Exchange training in Sveg over the southern hemisphere’s summer. I am currently benefitting from the skilled coaching of the Rocky Mountain Racers over my Gap year. This is in preparation for representing New Zealand in the 2016 Biathlon Junior World Championships hosted by Romania.
