In 2015, he was named athlete of the year for the Opolszczyzna region.[3] In that year, he won a bronze medal in the C-2 1000 m at the World Championships alongside Marcin Grzybowski.[4] In 2017, he was part of the Polish men's C-4 1000 m team that won the silver medal at the World Championships with Wiktor Glazunow, Tomasz Barniak and Marcin Grzybowski.[5] That year, the team also won the European title in the event.[6]
