He took up Para athletics at age 13. (cpb.org.br, 08 Jun 2017)

He was inspired to take up the sport after Brazilian coach Silvio Corsino visited his school. He tried other sports, such as football and archery, but athletics was his final choice. "I have tried several sports, but I fell in love with athletics. What I like to do is run and jump. I did not pick athletics, athletics picked me."
