When he was a teenager, he started to go to snooker clubs around town and watched people play. This inspired and motivated him to start practicing it himself without his disability. Practicing was not easy at first and he used to practice in isolation.

In the beginning, I used to push the balls by myself on an empty pool table, gradually, I improved my game and started playing with others.

At first, his parent did not let him play the sport, worrying that he might injure himself. He was finally allowed to return to the snooker clubs last year to pursue his passion.
