"While doing my rehab, I learned about Para sports, and I started with table tennis. My buddies would come up, and we would play table tennis in the rehabilitation hospital, and what I really enjoyed about it was that it was something I could do with my non-disabled friends. So they did not have to be in a wheelchair to play against me, and I could be sitting in my chair while they are standing up. Then one time, I saw an ad for a wheelchair tennis clinic in the Portland, Oregon area, and I thought that sounded great. So I went down there and learned about wheelchair tennis, struck my first ball out of the wheelchair, and fell in love with the sport." (spectrumnews1.com, 20 May 2021)

General
OTHER ACTIVITIES
He has been involved in wheelchair tennis clinics for children in Irvine, CA, United States of America. "It's not about these kids, every single one of them, making the Paralympics or winning a gold medal. It's about how many of them get to go play tennis with their brother, and instead of being the disabled kid who's just keeping score, they're the disabled child who's playing. They're the athlete with a disability as opposed to the disabled scorekeeper. We put athlete first, disability second, and these kids have an opportunity to feel that way. And that's such a great thing." (latimes.com, 04 May 2021)
