He was introduced to the sport by coach Kevin Simons. He first tried CrossFit and powerlifting but he disliked the cardio element of CrossFit and the lack of competition in powerlifting. "I used to be a gymnast before I started weightlifting. My gymnastics coach [Kevin] recruited me to do CrossFit. I started doing CrossFit workouts with him. I realised that CrossFit wasn't for me, but I loved weightlifting." (barbend.com, 02 Aug 2019; killcliff.com, 02 Jan 2019; insidethegames.biz, 25 Jul 2017; floelite.com, 24 Jun 2017)

"I love the opportunity and the ability to just work, day after day, and see myself progressing over the years. It's something that I can put a lot of time and effort into, and that you can always improve, no matter how good you get. You can always improve techniques, you can always get stronger, and that's something I really enjoy." (msn.com, 26 May 2021)
