Early career

In his early childhood, Nuke was a tennis player, however he felt his career was stuck because he rarely won any tennis competitions. However, his passion for sports rose again after he met basketball. The meeting was unique. At that time, Nuke, who was still in junior high school, was cycling around the Joyokusumo GOR in Pati, Central Java. There were nine people there playing basketball. Because there was one less, Nuke was finally invited to play together.^[1][2][3]

High school career

Studied at SMAN 14 Semarang, he was selected as a DBL All-Star in 2011 that was held at Seattle, Washington.^[4]
