He began running at school. When he was in grade 10, he started training seriously with a local club. (worldathletics.org, 19 Apr 2018)

"My very first running experiences came at school. I was a grade eight student at the time, and I finished second against runners much older and more experienced than me. It was a big turning point in my life. I loved running at school. I ran with friends and I was not only good at the sport, but it was fun. That second-place finish gave me the belief and encouragement I needed and I progressed to a regional level. I run for several reasons - it allows me to live a healthy life, it is good for mental development, and it has transformed my life by making me prosperous." (worldathletics.org, 19 Apr 2018)
