His left leg got amputated after he hit an IED while serving in Iraq in February 2007. After the injury, one of the Operation Comfort personnel have suggested him to join the San Antonio Rampage sledge hockey club where he later played from 2009 to 2011 seasons.

Prior to sled hockey he was quoted saying:
They asked me to come out and play sled hockey, and I was like, I don"t come from a hockey state.
I"m from Oregon. We don"t play hockey there. How many Hispanics do you see playing hockey?.
