Originally from the Atlantic coast, he practiced sailing, funboarding, surfing... During a trip to Africa in 1991, he observed with envy a paraglider soaring along a small cliff: he had never seen one! On his way back, he enrolled in a paragliding course in the Pyrenees: it's great to fly! Paragliding will become very important in his life: logically after a few years, he moves to Savoie and practices cross country, competition, passes the BEES..... At the same time, in winter he progresses in skiing and works as a rescue worker. Today, paragliding is the sport he practices most (he is a member of the French team since 2006) and is also his job. In summer and winter, he is a tandem pilot in Tarentaise. In spring and autumn in Vendée he practices soaring, winching and paramotoring(www.vendee-paramoteur.fr).
