He played basketball and athletics from age seven, before being recruited by the Philippine Rowing Association in 2015. "Back then, I had no idea what rowing was all about. After three months of trying to learn, I began to enjoy and soon realised the potential of me being good at it." (sports, 11 May 2021; cnnphilippines, 10 May 2021; philstar, 08 Dec 2019)

He was scouted by rowing coach Justine Kyle Vinas, who invited him to join the national team. "I always grab those opportunities to be invited to play. If I couldn't perform well in the tryouts and enjoy the sport, then I'd return home. But the opposite happened with rowing. I love the sport because it gives me freedom and happiness."
