A letter on the Rio Olympics, a boring apparel business, and going from the cap table to the team.
I am Australian, and my life has unfolded across three overlapping chapters: sport, building companies, and investing, now balanced with a young family.
Chapter one was water polo. I competed at the Rio Olympics in 2016, then played professionally in Europe. Eventually, I stopped. I had done everything I wanted to do, and the sport had politely declined to pay me particularly well for any of it. A good reason to go build something else.
So I did. The best business I built was also the most boring: uniforms and sportswear for schools and clubs. I sold it in 2020 and had been investing along the way.
One of those investments led me here.
I met Max Marchione three years ago, just as he was starting Superpower, and invested in the seed round largely on the strength of a founder I had only just met.
After that, I started another company and did not love it. We moved to California so I could pursue my MBA at Stanford, with plans to build something in health. Eventually, the choice became starting from scratch or going all in on the company I already believed in.
Not a hard call.
At Superpower, I work on partnerships and whatever fits no one else’s job description, lately including our Medical Advisory Board.
I spent my first career surrounded by doctors and sports scientists constantly helping me understand my body. Meanwhile, most people I love get only brief, infrequent windows into their own health. That gap has always seemed insane to me. Now, as a dad, I have a selfish reason to help close it.
Outside work, I am usually in the water, watching sport, or being used as a climbing frame by two toddlers.
