Foxen attended Boston College, where he played tight end on the school's football team.[1] In 2012, at the age of 21, he won the first World Series of Poker circuit event he entered in New Orleans.[2] He however declared that he didn't start playing poker seriously until the age of 23, when he graduated from university.

At this time, he played online for a couple of years before making a transition to live poker in 2016, starting with small tournaments of $200 to $500 buy-ins.[3]

Foxen's first WSOP final table came in 2017. In December of that year, he finished second in the Five Diamond World Poker Classic on the World Poker Tour, earning more than $1,134,000.[4]

Foxen made the final table of the Five Diamond World Poker Classic for the second time in three years in December 2019. He won the tournament, defeating Toby Joyce heads-up and earning nearly $1.7 million for his first WPT title.[10] The win moved him atop the GPI's POY race for the second straight year.[11]
