Supporters

My Mum Suzzanne, Dad Peter and Sister Maxine
My family is a huge support and help to me and they are my greatest backers and supporters.  If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be who I am, or where I am, today.  I feel very privileged to have had such a great upbringing, to have lived all over the world and to have never wanted for anything.  They have given up so much to help me chase my dreams as an athlete.  My sister Maxine is an amazing athlete and a true inspiration to me.  It is great to be able to travel the world with your big sister looking over your shoulder - strength in numbers! I hope that we, together, have many more exciting chapters before us as we work towards our goals as athletes.

Shaun Stephens - Coach
Shaun is the Australian National Triathlon Coach and has been coaching me since 2004. We have had some highs and some lows but Shaun is always able to get the best from me and I have complete faith in him.  He has an impressive coaching resume, delivered some amazing results and has brought many of his athletes to the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, World Championships and Goodwill Games. Shaun has a quiet demeanor but possesses a fire in his eyes that inspires you to better yourself.

Bruno Rizzo - Massage Therapist
The one word that describes Bruno is "GURU".  Bruno is easily the best massage therapist I have ever worked with.  If I have a slight niggle I know he will be able to sort it out.  I can talk to Bruno about anything and I consider his guidance and discretion invaluable.  Bruno has been a competitive runner and triathlete in his day and looks after many of Australia's top athletes from the worlds of athletics, triathlon, swimming, water polo, cycling, decathlon and many others!

Greg Cox - Nutritionist
When it comes to nutrition guidance and planning, Greg is without equal.  He has built an incredibly impressive resume and has previously held the famous Berri Fellowship in Sport Nutrition.  He is also a vegetarian and possessed of some amazing cooking AND eating skills.   He is very modest but we are always aware that he is a very talented triathlete and endurance athlete, having competed at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships (and quite able to step up and give the elites a run for their money during training sessions).

Niall Collins - Manager
I met Niall whilst I was working at River City Cycles one day and I immediately noticed his very strong Irish accent.  I managed to forgive him for that since he is married to a great Brisbane girl in Sarah!  He was new to Australia and a very energetic and enthusiastic triathlete.  He, unfortunately, got injured and had to slow down his lifestyle and that didn't sit well with him.  So having a little more time on his hands, he offered his knowledge and assistance in order to help me approach and negotiate with sponsors and to set up my website.   He is an antitrust & competition lawyer by profession and delivers sound commercial acumen in his approach towards my management.  He is an absolute legend and I am greatly appreciative of all his help and work.

Dr Mark Young - Doctor
Mark is my Doctor and the person responsible for fixing me when I had my bad few years with illness.  Mark enjoys competing in triathlons and is always very entertaining.  Mark, like all the other amazing people who help me also assists many top athletes from a wide range of sports.

Michael Bohl - Swim Coach
Michael is an absolute legend and an amazing swim coach. He has, in the past, and still coaches many Australian representative swimmers as well as World Record Holders, Olympic and World Champions. He is a master of his trade and is amazing to watch in action. He is truly one of the leading swim coaches in the world and it is fantastic to have him in my corner. In addition, he knows how to have a good time and a laugh!

Michael Flynn - Mentor & AIS Triathlon National Performance Director
Michael is new to the Australian triathlon family and he has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he brings to the table.  He is such a great mentor, motivator and leader and I consider it an honor to work with such an accomplished human being. He has been to and seen so many places that many people only dream about visiting, which always make for interesting conversation. I'm looking forward to learning from his leadership into the future.

Chris Brady - Physio
Chris has been helping me with niggles and problems for as long as I can remember.  He is a physiotherapist at the Gabba in Brisbane, seems to know everyone and is a great guy to know.  Chris has an infectious personality and having Chris around during an evening with friends means that the conversation will never run dry.  It is also advisable to have him on your team during any trivia-related games!  He too works with a wide variety of successful athletes and is currently working with the Ford V8 Supercar teams.

Leon Vogels - Physio
Leon is also a Physiotherapist at the Gabba and I trust Leon implicitly to mend me when something isn't quite working as it should.  He is a keen cyclist - indeed cycling is in the family blood, his brother being an ex - professional cyclist and  now working as a team director based in the United States.  Leon is also an amazing bicycle biomechanist who can deliver the right fit and positioning in order to maximise your power and help you run off the bike faster - an absolute must in our game!

Craig Saunders - Mentor
Craig is one of the owners of the bike shop I work at - River City Cycles in Brisbane.  Craig has held many records on the track and road and I'm reliably told that a few of those track records in New Zealand still stand.  I first met Craig back when I was picked up by the Queensland Academy of Sport, through the Talent Identification Program (when Craig was the cycling coach for the triathlon and cycling programs).  He then coached me after the Program finished and ultimately helped me gain many friends in the cycling community and to develop an understanding of bunch etiquette.  We now work together at the bike shop and he is always willing to lend me advice when I need it.  I feel he is a great mentor for my development as a person and as an athlete.

Jeremy Barber - Mentor
I met Jeremy whilst working at River City Cycles and he has been an amazing help to me in understanding how business should be managed, assessing appropriate layout(s) of the shop to help the flow and in learning how you should approach customers.  He has a very creative mind and I always derive benefit from discussing my thoughts on my website and resume with him.  He has had a very colourful background, from completing in many Ironman triathlons, to having a stint in the army and having worked in many different director/management roles. He is very knowledgeable and I feel lucky to have him in my corner.

Michael Lloyd - Sports Psychologist
I have only recently started to work with Michael but am already beginning to see the fruits of his efforts with me.  I'm delighted to be able to call on him when I need to.
