He competed as a rookie in the second qualifying episode. His run there was mostly cut, but he was shown briefly during the Akbar Gbaja-Biamila's moments at the end of the episode for his legos creations. He failed the fifth obstacle, Piston Plunge and his time to that obstacle placed him 17th overall. He later competed in the first semifinals episode. His run there was digested, but he once again failed on the fifth obstacle, going out on Kaleidoscope and ending his rookie season.
