He represented Great Britain in athletics at the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, competing in the T13 100m and T13 200m events. His journey into Para cycling began around 2009 after his funding for athletics was cut before the London 2012 Games. He found new purpose in Para cycling, a sport he had always admired.

In 2023, he was named Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to Para cycling. Previously, he was named Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2013. He has been recognised multiple times at the Aberdeen Sports Awards, winning Male Achiever of the Year and Para Sport Achiever of the Year in both 2014 and 2016.

He also received the Angus Trophy from Scottish Disability Sport in 2012, 2014, and 2015. Additionally, he was named Para Sport Achiever of the Year at the Aberdeen Sports Awards in 2015. In earlier years, he received the Gordon Brown Trophy in 2010 and 2013 for athletes' athlete of the year.

Personal Life and Coaching

Together, they run LNF Coaching, a business focused on helping people achieve their full potential through lifestyle, nutrition, and belief systems. He also offers life coaching through his personal website, Earn Your Stripes.

Publications

In 2020, he released a book titled "Earn Your Stripes," which outlines his methodology for achieving success. The book combines stories from his career with insights into mental preparation and how these principles can be applied to everyday life.

Future Ambitions

Looking ahead to the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, he aims to defend his gold medal in the tandem B time trial. Guided by Matt Rotherham, he continues to train rigorously for this goal.

His philosophy remains simple: "Give it a try and have fun." Inspired by British track cyclist Chris Hoy, he continues to push himself while motivating others through his coaching and public speaking engagements.
