Having run all types of races from 1500m on the track to 100km+ on trail, he finally began participating in stage races in Oman 2011. Fascinated by the Ultra stage scene he has participated in many races around the world and has completed all the Global Limits events and started volunteering for GlobalLimits in Cambodia 2013 and continued to work for GlobalLimits as volunteer and then as Course Director in Bhutan 2015, 2016 and 2017 aswell as in Cambodia 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
