Welcome to my website.

What can I say, I've been competing in the sport of Canoe Slalom since I was about 8 years old, but have pretty much been canoeing since I could walk! My parents were both keen recreational paddlers who dabbled with a bit of competition in slalom. Both my mum and dad have supported me heavily through the years and now enjoy travelling the world to watch me compete.

I have now been a member of the GB Senior Team since 2005, competing at World Cup Races, European Championships and World Championships. My best results to date are being 2006 UK Champion and finishing 4th at the 2007 World Championships.

Looking forward, I am aiming to gain selection for the Olympics in 2008. This is now less than a year away and preparations for the selection races to be held in Holland (x2) and Nottingham (x1) have already begun.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy the website.
