General Interest

FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
Since there has been no halfpipe snowboard French team since PyeongChang 2018 and had to train by himself, he put up a fundraising campaign on "I Believe in You" to train for Beijing 2022 called "Road to Beijing, The last straight line!". His goal was 5000€ and was completely fund by 65 contributors. "I have very little financial support from the French Ski Federation, which prefers to finance disciplines other than mine. My sponsors provide me with the equipment but help me very little financially. A full season costs me about 30,000 euros. That is why I call on you to help me finance it." (ibelieveinyou.fr)

LAAX
His favourite halfpipe to ride is in Laax, Switzerland because "everything is perfect." (worldsnowboardtour.com).

Has two top-20 finishes at two World Championships (2019, 2021).

Competed at two Junior World Championships (2015, 2017) with a best halfpipe finish of fifth in 2017 (Laax).
