Born in France to English parents, Ewen moved to New Zealand when he was eight years old, settling in
Tuakau. He began sit skiing in 2013 after receiving a spinal injury in a downhill mountain bike accident that left him without the use of his legs. Ewen was selected for the
New Zealand team for the 2018 Winter Paralympics, but had to withdraw after sustaining a hip fracture during training in December 2017. He returned to competition in 2019. ==References==
