At the 2005 World Championships in Leipzig he won the bronze medal.[2] At the European Championships 2005 in Zalaegerszeg he and his Dutch teammates came sixth in the nations tournament.[2] He reached the final and became second at the 2006 European Championships in Izmir.[2] After the Grand Prix meeting in Stockholm in 2008 he was secure of qualification for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[2] In the preparations for this tournament he won the World Cup meeting in Cali, Colombia in June and he also won the Dutch national title.[2] At the 2008 Summer Olympics he reached the last eight, losing to the eventual gold medalist, Matteo Tagliariol.[3]
