After a successful officiating career in Basketball and Wheelchair Basketball, which included officiating in both the Olympics and Paralympics in London 2012, I became involved in officiating Wheelchair Rugby in May 2013 after being invited down by Brian Ward, Head of Officials. I feel I took to the sport well and settled in easily with the help and friendliness of the other officials.
I enjoy my weekends attending the Super Series Tournaments, meeting all the other officials, the teams and the players and seeing the improvements that are happening in all areas of the sport and how the sport is growing.
I have progressed well and I am now looking forward to my first international appointment within Wheelchair Rugby in Finland, I have never officiated in another country so I am a little apprehensive but see this as my next challenge. I am really excited and also see this as the start of my international career in Wheelchair Rugby and hope it is as successful as my basketball career.
