Bio
Joe was born in the UK and migrated to Australia with his family when he was 3 years old, coming to Launceston in Tasmania. Joe was always a keen sports enthusiast and seemed to have a talent for many sports from an early age. Running was his first passion and he soon gave away the ball sports for fear of being kicked in his precious legs! As a teenager, Joe took up cycling and swimming and triathlon seemed a natural choice. Joe then competed in four consecutive National All Schools events with improved results each year.
As a 16 year old, Joe received a 'wildcard' and entered his first professional race at the Devonport triathlon competing against many of the world's best at the time. Joe then competed for 2 seasons as an age grouper and won all the races that he entered. This success culminated in the 2000 World Championships when Joe won a silver medal in the 16-19 year old category. These results led to Joe being named the Australian Junior Triathlete of the year.
From 2001-2004, studying for his Bachelor of Commerce degree limited Joe's travelling ability but he competed within Australia throughout these years. During this time, he raced the Australian elite Accenture series. Racing at this high level provided invaluable experience and shaped Joe into the athlete he is today.
Since 2004, Joe has travelled to the US and Europe, racing and working. Last year, he lived in the UK and Denmark as well as fitting in some racing in the US. Joe loves the hectic lifestyle of the triathlon world, the travelling and the camaraderie. He has made some great friends and no doubt will make many more. Joe is in the sport for the long haul and is looking forward to his best season yet.
