| Info | I was born in Manly hospital in 1974 and lived in Manly with my parents and older brother Zeke. During my childhood, I also lived in the French alps for a while and that is where I developed my love of skiing. Manly was never far from our thoughts and my mum, Dr Susan Steggall, documented these years in Alpine Beach: A Family Adventure.
I am from a sporting family; my grandfather played ten Tests for Australia in rugby union and my father Jack Steggall, long time solicitor in Manly, played Rugby for Northern Suburbs, Manly Rugby Club and Manly Lifesavers. I was honoured to represent Australia at four Winter Olympic Games from 1992 to 2002 and medal in Alpine skiing against the odds from the ‘well known’ ski resort of Manly!
I left Queenwood in Mosman at the age of 17 to go and compete in my first Winter Olympics and then continued my studies by passing my HSC by correspondence and completing my Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communication by correspondence during my sporting career. I completed my law degree after retiring from sport and have worked as a barrister since 2008, practicing in many areas of law but now specialising in sport and family law and acting for numerous local residents. I was appointed to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport in 2017.
I was honoured to be recognised for an Order of Australia Medal in 2007 for contributions to sport and charity and was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2004.
