He began taking the sport seriously after being reprimanded by his mother for playing online games when he was supposed to be training for the Philippine Youth Games. "I was a hyperactive kid and also hard-headed. I was 13 then, I was supposedly training for Batang Pinoy [the Philippine Youth Games] but I didn't feel like it." He went on to win a bronze medal at the tournament. "From then on, I thought to myself I would take taekwondo seriously." (sports.inquirer.net, 03 Jun 2021)

He was named University Athletic Association of the Philippines [UAAP] Rookie-MVP in 2018. (sports.inquirer.net, 03 Jun 2021)

In 2021 he said that since focusing on speed in his early career, his approach to bouts has evolved. "When I was starting, I was taught to go for speed, because I believe speed kills. But now I focus on defence more. I got to know when to move quickly and when to move slowly but surely." (sports.inquirer.net, 03 Jun 2021)
