He joined his high school cross-country team to improve his fitness for football. "Towards the end of my university career was when I first got involved with Para sport. I actually never really knew it existed. When I got in contact with Team Canada, I realised there was a lot of support and an opportunity to become an athlete for Team Canada and have the name of Canada across my chest and represent my country. So I decided to go through with that when I graduated university." (columbian.com, 07 Oct 2013; Gifuspo YouTube channel, 20 Nov 2020)
