Ford grew up in Sydney, attending Turramurra High School. Due to the distance he lived from the swimming facility he trained at, he would often board with swimmer Shane Gould.[1]
A graduate of Harvard University, Ford was captain of the varsity swim team during his time in Cambridge.[2]
In 1982, Ford won a silver medal in the 1500 metre freestyle at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, finishing behind Max Metzker. He also competed in that year's World Championships in Ecuador.[3]
Ford, a Swimming Australia board member, is married to former swimmer Susie Baumer.[4]
