| PD Member Since: | Winter 2002, Keen as mustard |
| How I Got Into Paddling: | Back in 1st yr Uni, a high school friend was interested in this girl. She has also had a high school friend who was part of a dragon boating club but needed an injection of new people otherwise it’ll fold. To help him out, a whole bunch of us joined the club so he could impress the girl. It worked & they are now married. |
| Favourite PD Moment: | Latest National DB races are right up there with my favourite moments. Non-PD Moment: Shanghai 500m awaiting the results of the final on a sinking podium & the next few hours after that… |
| Three words to describe PDs: | Licorice all sorts (because we have all sorts of fun people & its also a party!) |
| Favourite PD Photo Gallery Pic: |  It reminds me of what I’ll never do again willingly, cause I no longer have much memory of it. |
