Began skiing at the age of two in Villars-Gryon, then entered the ski-club Gryon at 10 competing in Alpine skiing. Switched to ski cross racing at age 15 in April 2009. (Athlete, Jan 2022)
He thinks ski cross is a varied sport: "You have to be technically good, at ease in the air, explosive at the start, and be able to feel the track’s bumps to create speed. Moreover, there are four of us on a course, it's a head-to-head fight, which makes it exciting and spectacular to watch." (Athlete, Jan 2022)
His ambition since he started ski cross has been to go to the Olympics: "Now it’s to enjoy every second of it and why not bring a medal home." (Athlete, Jan 2022)
