He competed for Australia at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and finished 27th overall. He initially qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, but his qualification was called into question by the British team for failing to meet the minimum number of points required to be eligible (as his qualification took place at the Oceanian Championship in Tokyo, where the show jumping segment was called off after an outbreak of equine flu;[3] however, the Australian Olympic Committee initially insisted he had met the requirements),[4] and was eventually revoked by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).[3] Alex now lives in Melbourne, Australia.
