Hartley is an exceptional young snowboarder whose accomplishments extend well beyond mere competition results.

Living with permanent medical conditions, he aspires to be a powerful role model for other young individuals who are confronting medical hurdles, showing them that their circumstances does not dictate their potential. Competing in a mentally and physically tough sport, Hartley is enjoying a winning streak internationally and is determined to continue this run.

As a proud advocate for inclusive sports, Hartley also spends time as a volunteer and mentor for local organisations like Frame Runners Wollongong and Disabled Surfers South Coast.
