Noah is originally from Red Mountain (Rossland, B.C.). After moving around the world with his parents as a kid, Noah’s family finally settled in North Vancouver where he finished high school. During this time Noah earned provincial and rep appearances in Snowboarding, Tae Kwon Do, rugby, football, and baseball.

After an unfortunate neck injury in a local snowboard competition, Noah underwent extensive rehab himself and decided to focus on pursuing rugby.
