In 2016 he tore the anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] in his knee during a competition. The injury meant he was unable to take his place as an alternate athlete for Canada the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. (gymcan.org, 01 Jan 2020)

He began trampolining in 2007. (gymcan.org, 01 Jan 2020)

He followed his sister into the sport. "I think that what trampoline has over a lot of other sports is that there's no limit, never a time where you've learned everything. You can add a flip to a routine, you can just keep adding one thing after another, it just never stops. I like the challenge and it's a lot of fun, too."

General
FURTHER EDUCATION
In 2017 he began studying for a PhD in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Toronto in Canada. "Outside of school, my biggest passion is definitely trampoline. I have competed in the sport since I was 12, and have continued throughout my studies. I find the training complements academic studies really well, allowing me to take a break and release some energy, and actually think more clearly when I return to studying. Scheduling time for everything can be a challenge, but has also helped me to become very organised and efficient in my work." (sgs.utoronto.ca, 31 Aug 2019; LinkedIn profile, 01 May 2017)
