The feeling of piloting a sled down a mile and a half of ice, at up to 98mph and 8 Gs of pressure is a rush like no other and one that I am honoured to have experienced. Let me tell you a bit about how I got here.

​

My story starts in a small village in Devon as a young boy who wanted to try every sport possible. From rugby to rowing, from mountain biking to motocross. My passion for speed and ambition to succeed grew with me. I am proud to have represented Devon in rugby and taken part in motocross SW championships in 2018. In 2021, whilst playing rugby for Ivybridge RFC I was spotted by scouts for the GB Bobsleigh Team and asked to attend a talent ID session in their training grounds near Bath.

 

Fast forward 3 months and I am at the top of a Bobsleigh track in a GB suit wondering what have I got myself into! I don't think I will ever replicate the feeling of raw passion for the race that I experienced at that moment. 

​

After 2 seasons as a brakeman for other pilots, I had my first taste of driving a sled in January 2023, before being selected as a pilot for the 2023/24 season. In my first season as a pilot, I had my best result in the European Cup race in Latvia, finishing 10th. Shortly after in St Moritz, Switzerland I placed 12th in the Junior World Championships (U26). 

​

Throughout this amazing journey I have been helped by an incredible group of people and would simply not be here without each and every one of them.

​

My family have been there from day one. 

​

My strength and conditioning coach Alexander Kopacz, 2 man olympic champion 2018, has been truly integral in my development as an athlete. I feel very fortunate to have him as a coach and mentor. 

​

The GB Team- Mark Silva as performance director and

Sean Olsson OLY as our head coach on ice.

​

My Sponsors- Ethical Power, Hudsons, Prompt Business Strategies, Hafborg and Morecore who came on board in 2023 and have all continued their support into my second season as a pilot. 

​

Over 100 people from Devon who supported my first Go Fund Me campaign in 2023 raising over £9,000 for the 23/24 season.
