Sporting relatives:

His wife Karine Paviza was elected as mayor of Geneston, France, in 2014 and won re-election in 2020. (actu.fr, 01 Jul 2021; Karine Paviza LinkedIn profile, 01 Nov 2020; actu.fr, 15 Mar 2020)

He began Para triathlon training in 2013. (triathlon-audencialabaule.com, 28 Aug 2015)

His doctor advised him to stay active after his illness so he first took up swimming. His family and friends then gave him a handbike at age 40 and challenged him to take part in a charity ride for children with juvenile chronic arthritis, a condition his son has. He participated in the event in 2013 and was soon encouraged by another doctor to add wheelchair racing to his training, and start competing in triathlons.
