Razvan graduated from Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School in the summer of 2017 and completed his master's degree in computer science at The University of Texas at Dallas.

Razvan's first coach was his father Rene, a class B / Category II player, who is also a FIDE chess Arbiter.

Upon Grigore's retirement from coaching chess, Razvan worked with another Romanian GM Gergely-Andras-Gyula Szabó, until summer 2016.

This annual event, organized by the Chess'n Math Association, is Canada's national grade school championship, bringing together all of the provincial champions.

He earned his first win over a Grandmaster when he defeated Bator Sambuev, a Canadian Olympic team member, at the 2013 Guelph Pro-Am.
