At the Summer Olympics in London he was again selected in the four-without, he won the bronze medal behind the teams from Great Britain and Australia together with Glenn Ochal , Charlie Cole and Scott Gault .

With a new team with Grant James , Seth Weil and Michael Gennaro, he also won the bronze medal at the 2013 World Championships and the World Cup silver medal behind the British selection at the event a year later in the same line-up. In the pre-Olympic season, the foursome started with Charlie Cole for Grant James, who moved into eighth. Cole, however, fell ill in the semi-finals of the World Championships and was replaced by James again, but the team missed the final, finished 7th in the overall standings and qualified for the boat class for the United States for the 2016 Summer Olympics .
