He was born in Milton Keynes. In his earlier years he was a member of Elgin Amateur Athletics Club, where he began competing in hammer event in 2005. In his first year, he managed to come tenth in the country as an under-20 athlete. Since 2010, he represents the Woodford Green with Essex Ladies in National Championships, and predominately competes in England or the United States. Although the top-ranked British athlete, he missed the 2013 World Championships in Athletics due to him having not achieved the B qualifying standard. UK Athletics selected him to receive support from the World Class Performance Programme for 2013-2014 because they judged him to have Olympic potential. In 2013 his seasons' best throw of 74.46m was the best achieved amongst UK men.
