In July 2017 he won the US Nationals tournament for the 3x3x3, 4x4x4, and 5x5x5 events as well as the 3x3x3 One-Handed. Just a week later he won the 3x3x3 event and the One-Handed event at the World Championship 2017 in Paris.

At WC2019, he suffered a shock upset in the finals of 3x3, coming 4th even though his average of 6.83 was only 0.09 off Philipp Weyer's winning average of 6.74. Still though, he came out as World Champion in 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7 and One-Handed.
At WC2023, he came first for 3x3, 5x5, and 7x7, the fewest world titles he had won since WC2017.
