When and Where Born:
1998
City of Residence:
Sydney, Australia
When and Why they started fencing:
Para Fencing: Men's Sabre & Eppe Category A
I took up Para Fencing because I needed an outlet and an anchoring point to help me come to terms with my disability. The sport's blend of strategy, precision, and physical agility resonated with me, offering both a challenge and a source of empowerment.
Today, I proudly compete as a Para Fencer in Men's Sabre & Eppe Category A - and continue to push the limits with my team.
