He began playing the sport at age 12 in Bayreuth, Germany. (Athlete, 11 May 2016)

He enjoyed watching the RSV Bayreuth wheelchair basketball team play. "I was into sports when I was growing up; I watched football. I wanted to do sports by myself, but I wanted to be in a sports club and play sports. I had nothing to do with basketball before, to be honest. Like, I knew that we had a team but I wasn't very interested in basketball. I started to go to the games, and I was like 'that's cool, I want to try it."
