Ben started his rowing at Brighton Grammar School. He finished his school racing racing in the first crew which finished third in 2015.

He joined Mercantile and has had a great deal of success. He finished in 2019 with a gold in the Under 23 World Championships in a coxed four.

2020 was a disappointing season for all rowers with the pandemic causing the Australian Championships to be cancelled. At the time of creation of these notes, he is now setting his sights on greater achievements.

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
