Exner is a great-nephew of former Archbishop of Vancouver Adam Exner and was educated at Rossland Secondary School in British Columbia.[1][2] He had a younger brother William, whose 2011 disappearance resulted in one of the largest searches to have taken place in Vancouver, before his body was discovered in False Creek.[1][3]

A prop, Exner was capped twice by Canada at the 2005 Churchill Cup, coming on off the bench in matches against England "A" and the United States.[4] He played professional rugby in France for Section Paloise from 2006 to 2008, then got signed by the Cornish Pirates, but a calf injury meant he was unable to join the English club.[5]
