His journey includes multiple Paralympic medals, including two golds in track and field at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.
Frech stated his purpose is to "normalize disability" and serve as an example of amputee capabilities. His participation follows other athletes with limb differences, such as Amy Purdy and Noah Galloway, who also reached the finals on DWTS.
Regarding his personal life, Frech appeared to confirm he is single in August 2026, despite a past relationship with equestrian Gable Gering. Their relationship reportedly began in 2023.
