He took up the sport with friends, and also used to cycle to school. "I began cycling as a means of transport to get around my city [Araraquara, Brazil]. I always liked it.

He was named Para Cyclist of the Year for five consecutive years from 2015 to 2019 by the Brazilian Paralympic Committee [CPB]. (cpb.org.br, 17 Dec 2019; bike76.com, 13 Dec 2018; rededoesporte.gov.br, 30 Nov 2015)
