Biography
Started: He began shooting at an early age. In 2012 he joined Bridge Junior Shooting Club in Los Angeles, CA, United States of America, and started formal training with coach In Kim. (usashooting.org, 09 Jul 2021)
Reason: He got involved in shooting as a hobby. He was encouraged to compete by coach In Kim. "I got injured and I picked up shooting as a way to kill time in between my therapies and home schooling. It was one of the very few ways I was able to pass time. I met In Kim in California, and I started shooting at his club. I didn't want to go into Paralympic shooting because I was still bitter about my injury but In Kim convinced me to keep shooting. I enjoy the thrill of shooting. I never liked playing team sports. Prior to my injury, all the sports I did were individual: rock climbing, scuba diving. I like independent sports, and shooting gives me that."
