He began with judo at hometown Velserbroek at Ben Rietdijk's judo academy.[1] Since 2011 he was part of Netherlands's judo team.[2] He was competing unsuccessfully with Neal van de Kamer[3] for Netherlands's leader at −81 kg weight category. Around autumn 2014 he decided switch sport for sport jujitsu because Netherlands hosted in 2015 European championships in city Almere. He was trained by Dutch ju-jitsu legend Barry van Bommel and at European championships he took second place.[4] Later on November he became world champion in ju-jitsu in Bangkok.[5] He retired from top sport around 2018.[6]
