He began running in 2010, originally just for fun. (bsbassessoria.com, 02 Feb 2016)

He enjoyed running, but initially only did it as a hobby. He took up the sport more seriously after meeting Neide Santos, who founded the Life Running Project in Brazil. Santos helped him to adapt to Para sport after his vision decreased. "Neide taught me that no matter how many times I fell, I needed to have focus and the will to keep on fighting. Running is a way of overcoming my situation and a way to help my family, to grow as a person and to represent my country."

Coaches Balbino Santos, Luis Gustavo Candido, and Neide Santos. (voegol.com.br, 01 Mar 2020; Facebook page, 24 Jan 2017)

Philosophy:

"For me, problems serve as fuel to further increase my will to fight and persist." (Facebook page, 24 Jan 2017)
