American Ninja Warrior 13
He first made his appearance as one of the many teenagers invited to compete on the regular show in the first qualifying round. In qualifying, he impressed everyone by being the first finisher of the night with the 2nd fastest time. In the semi-finals, he made it all the way to the Inverter where he lost his grip as he was trying to secure his grip on the first board. He was still able to advance to the national finals as he placed 10th overall.

In the national finals, his run on stage 1 was digested, but it was shown that he made a bet with Akbar to increase the value of his card if he finished stage 1. And so he did, with 8.52 seconds remaining. On stage 2, he was the first runner. He put up an impressive run, until he ran out of steam on the blind catch on Falling Shelves, just a few inches away from the buzzer, ending his rookie season.
