The young South Australian has represented Australia at Under 23 level, winning gold in the U23 Men's Coxed Eight at the 2019 World Rowing Under 23 Championships. From rural South Australia, Dingabledinga, Dawson went to school at St Peter's College, Adelaide. In 2021, he raced in the Open Men's Pair at the Australian Rowing Championships, winning the title with fellow South Australian, Alexander Hill.
