A paraplegic from the Lake Macquarie suburb of Eleebana, he started archery at the age of eleven and two years later he became the first paraplegic in Australia to qualify for a national championship in archery against able-bodied archers. He was Australia's youngest team member at the age of 16 at the 1984 New York/Stoke Mandeville Paralympics. He won a silver medal in the Men's Short Metric Round Team 1A–6 event and finished 7th in the Men's Double Advanced Metric Round Paraplegic event.
