Born and raised in Chamonix, my origins have fuelled my passion for mountain sports and motivated me to make them my career. I enjoy the contact with both my French and International clientele and find it very rewarding.
Father of two young boys, I have designed and built our own chalet in the style typical to this region. We count ourselves lucky to posses sufficient land to cultivate a selection of our own fruit and vegetables, and raise a small flock of chickens.
Passionate about sport, I enjoy running ultra-marathons and Mountain biking; they keep me fit too!

My objective professional is to share with you my enthusiasm for the various sports (Skiing, Mountain Biking, Trail Running, Hiking and Yoga), that I practice daily, in the incredible destination of the Chamonix valley and beyond.
