In his own words:
I started at the age of 17 with my cycling career, when I joined the Cycletec team under the supervision of Tokkie Bombosch. I went through a series of training methods, and in doing it, I realized that I have fallen in love with the sport and I wanted to take it to a much higher level, if not becoming a pro-rider, developing other riders with a better potential.

My aims for the near future are:
- Develop myself to a higher level
- Help other up-coming riders to develop
- To develop the sport of cycling in the country
- Finally, to set an example for others
