He learned to swim at age eight. (floridagators.com, 17 Feb 2020)

During his childhood he would go on annual vacations with his family. From age six he would often play in the water with his grandfather and two years later learned to swim while on vacation. He trained in both swimming and football for many years before deciding to focus solely on swimming before starting high school. (floridagators.com, 17 Feb 2020)

MOVE TO FLORIDA
In 2019 he moved to the United States of America to swim and study at the University of Florida in Gainesville. "The first day I got here was the first time I saw everything. It was because my recruiting process started so late. I kind of went in blind. I had an expectation of what it would be like because I know German universities, but it was way different. I'm lucky that I got here. The transition has been smoother than expected. I think I had an advantage because I was always good with English in school my whole life. I am beyond grateful that the coaches gave me the chance to be a Florida Gator, and there is no place I would rather be than the University of Florida."
