Began skiing at age five and signed up with the alpine section of CS La Plagne in France. At age 12 he gave up alpine skiing to concentrate on freestyle skiing. His parents did not force him to start high-level skiing: “It wasn't their thing. But blue door, red door… I found it a bit repetitive.” (Info 2018; parismatch.com)

After having tried alpine skiing, he quickly felt the need to express himself, to show his personality, and to propose new things. He was inspired by the sight of freestyle skiers performing tricks. "It was fantastic to see them flying in the air and performing crazy tricks. I loved their freedom." (Info 2018, parismatch.com)

His coach Gregory Guenet: “We've been together for 13 years, he's always been there, he's been the biggest support of my career, in difficult times he's also been my advisor, both on and off the skis. I see him even more than my own father, he is part of my family." (parismatch.com)
