Biography
Started: He took up Para athletics in 2021. (CBC Sports YouTube channel, 18 May 2023)
Reason: He was involved in non-Para athletics before he was advised to look into Para athletics. "I was just doing some social media work for CP [Cerebral Palsy] Ontario and they would ask me, what sports did you do in high school, and stuff like that. I answered just different sports, football, basketball, track. They asked me was it against able-bodied people or Para people, and I said able-bodied because I didn't know what that meant. I knew that I had a disability at the time, but I didn't know the severity of it. I figured that out and it snowballed into finding out that my times and distances from high school would have qualified me for Rio [the 2016 Paralympic Games]."
