A interview with Seven8 for Ironman Oceania, leading into Ironman Western Australia:
Yes it has been over 5 years since I emigrated out to Western Australia with my wife, Helen, and then 7 year old daughter, Rhiannon. Rhiannon is now approaching 13 and we also have another little girl, Sophie is just two. The experience has at times been extremely challenging and definitely the hardest thing I have ever done... it has also been rewarding.
I continue to have the opportunity to work in the sport that I am passionate about. I gained my British Triathlon Level 3 qualification in 2011, since then I have continued to learn and develop as a professional coach. I have been lucky enough to complete the Triathlon Australia Performance Coaching Training Program in addition to completing my IRONMAN U certification.
Now based in Perth, I have had the opportunity to work within the Triathlon community in WA, all the time maintaining contact with the athletes I coach, both in Western Australia and around the world. I love what I do...
