Why do you use this bowl?
I find the evo has a great all round bias irrespective of the different types of green I may encounter or position I may be playing.
How and when did you start bowling?
My father was a crown green bowler and I won my first competition aged 12 years old. I first played flat green at a local indoor centre aged 18.
Career Goals
I have always been tremendously competitive and ambitious in everything I do and would love to get a call up to play for my newly adopted country as a proud Australian.
Career Highlights
2002 was definitely the dream year of my career winning a World Title with my best mate Tony Allcock on the Indoor then adding the Commonwealth Games Gold medal in my home town of Manchester in front of friends and family will always be very special to me.
Achievements

2002 World Indoor Pairs Gold Medal
1988-2002 English Indoor & Outdoor International Player – 14 years

Who do you most admire?
The most versatile and gifted player I have ever played with is Indoor & Outdoor World Champion Tony Allcock from England. In Australia Steve Glasson is the ultimate gentleman and I wish I had Ryan Bester's drive!
I have had a ball playing with the guys at Cabramatta Bowling Club and I reckon it would be the most professional outfit in Australia at the moment.
What would you do if you weren't bowling?
I’m not sure what I would do if I wasn’t bowling. It has been such a big part of my life for over 25 years. That said I really enjoy the odd game of golf even though I am really terrible at it.
