He took up the sport in 2008 in Palembang, Indonesia. (Athlete, 05 Dec 2017)

"I used to like swimming in the river back in my hometown in Muara Enim. After the accident, I left and went to Palembang to get a better life, where a friend introduced me to Para swimming and took me to a swimming club. I was grateful for the coach, Dirman, who owned the Lumban Tirta club and welcomed me. The training did not separate me from the other able-bodied swimmers, so I was motivating."
