Mosman is proud to announce that one of Australia’s best performed athletes has started coaching at the club.
Big Tom ( 2 metres, and 100kg) was a member of the men’s VIII in 2006, 2007 and 2008 in the Beijing Olympics, and in the Coxless four which finished 4th in the Athens Olympics.

In 2002 Tom was a member of the coxed pair that won the Australian men’s team their only medal at the World Championships in Seville. The crew was coached by current Mosman Head Coach Nick Garratt.

Tom has been a medallist in the single scull at the Junior World championships, was Australian champion in the double scull (with Mosman’s Peter Hardcastle) and was a member of NSW’s last two winning Kings Cup crews.

A couple of more points of interest. Tom is married to Ali- a former national Junior Team member, he has a 500 metre pb on the erg. of 1.15, and is one of an exclusive group ( coupled with his partner Rob Jahrling)to beat the great James Tomkins in a coxless pair.

We welcome Tom who is looking forward to helping the next generation of young Mosman Rowers achieve their potential.
