He started cycling at around five at his parents' initiative and first practised BMX in Medellín. At eight he won a UCI BMX World Championship in Brazil, and in 2012 he won the junior men's category at the world championship in Birmingham and took second in the junior time trial.

The Mayor's Office of Bogotá renamed its BMX track in Parque El Salitre in his honour.
