Languages spoken:

Compagnie des Archers du Chateau Gerpinnes [Belgium]

He took up Para archery in 2016. (rtbf.be, 16 Dec 2019)

"I've always liked archery in TV shows and movies. Legolas, from 'The Lord of the Rings', is my favourite character. I decided to give archery a try even though I did not know how it could be done, but I knew that there would be no other solution than my feet." (AIPS Awards YouTube channel, 21 Mar 2021; rtbf.be, 16 Dec 2019)

Philosophy:

"I adapt to the world rather than the world adapting to me." (Facebook profile, 14 Aug 2021)

FROM POLAND TO BELGIUM
Born in Poland, he was abandoned at birth and placed in an orphanage before being adopted by a Belgian mother at age four.
