He took up the sport in 2014 at the Neuilly-Plaisance club in Paris, France, and switched to 400m hurdles in 2017. (France 3 Grand Est YouTube channel, 24 Apr 2019; trackandlife.fr, 30 Jul 2018)

He first became interested in athletics after seeing a training group while out walking and asked if he could join, but was not allowed as they were a high-performance group. He later took up the sport when a friend invited him to a training session. "When I was at university, a friend told me he was attending athletics training and invited me to join. I told him I would run faster than him, so he told me to come with him to see it." (France 3 Grand Est YouTube channel, 24 Apr 2019; trackandlife.fr, 30 Jul 2018)
