- Start skatingHe took up the sport at age nine at the West Allis Speed Skating Club in Milwaukee, WI, United States of America. "When I was 12 I earned my first national medal, as I took third at the US Age Group Nationals. In that moment, I realised I could pursue speed skating more seriously and my freshman year of high school I dropped all other sports to focus on my Olympic goal."

He was inspired by watching the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin on television. "That's when speed skating came on and I was immediately intrigued. I became more and more excited as I watched [US short track skater] Apolo Anton Ohno claim a gold medal. Since that moment I was hooked and continuously begged my parents to let me skate."
