In 2012 he was invited to enter a trial at his school, after which he was selected to start training at Minas Tenis Club in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. "Jumping for me is a freedom feeling because I'm doing what I like. And when the elements are perfectly done I feel calm, knowing that everything is going right. Flying is sensational."
