After making tremendous progress since the very beginning, he competed for the first time at the Mr. Olympia in 2022 where he bagged the 16th position in the Classic Physique category. This same year, he also won his first and last competition, which was the New York Pro. Serbian bodybuilding veteran Milos Sarcev, who was his coach earlier, revealed the death of Neil through an Instagram post. This was later confirmed by Dave Palumbo as well.
