His recent competitive record reflects a period of active participation, with a notable appearance at the 2026 PDGA Professional World Championships Saturday Qualifier. This event, his sole recorded result for the 2026 season, resulted in a 45th place finish, highlighting the steep learning curve inherent in professional disc golf.
