2021
Began skating in Bracebridge, ON, Canada, where he initially learned to play ice hockey before taking up short track in 2014. (schaatsen.nl, 3 Jan 2019)
"At first I didn't like it. I thought ice hockey was much cooler. Once we moved to the Netherlands, I discovered short track was also a lot of fun. You skate hard and you fly round the corners. I think it's cool to overtake my opponents and play a tactical game. I really enjoy it." (schaatsen.nl, 3 Jan 2019)
Winning a gold medal in the Dutch Short Track Speed Skating Championships and compete at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. "It's hard to know whether that will be in the individual or relay, but I'm going for it anyway." (schaatsen.nl, 24 Jun 2021)
