In the Pool
Greatest achievement to date: My gold medal performance at the Commonwealth Games in 2006, in Melbourne, I won the 100m Freestyle. Also I hold the NCAA 200 yard Freestyle record (1.31.20 – 2006), the fastest man ever in a short course yard pool. American universities compete in short course yards rather than short course metres.
Aspiration: To win an Olympic gold
Who has been greatest influence on you: Bob Pay, my first coach.
Out of the Pool
One thing you can’t live without: My laptop
Tip for the top: Work hard in the right places, and enjoy yourself.
Life after swimming: No plans as yet.
Favourites
Band/Music: Not a big music fan really, I prefer watching TV. I am quite keen on shows such as House, Law & Order and Friends.
