Biography: 
I am a multisport athlete, going head first into any adventure or challenge. I enjoy a challenge coming from nature, pain, misery or hard competition. Coming from a wide background of road bike, MTB, triathlon, I am now focused on long Adventure Racing, Swimrun and the love of MTB stage racing. Anything long enough, I’ll find the biggest motivation in fighting hard for a team.
