Born in Montpellier, from a Grenoble family, I quickly developed a passion for outdoor sports. I discovered windsurfing at a young age, but soon I was drawn to catamarans, especially in racing.

After 6 years of practice and regattas, winning several regional titles in a row and obtaining a teaching certificate, I transitioned to keelboats: 4 consecutive years of regattas whenever my materials physics studies allowed it, competing in IRC circuits in crewed and double-handed races in the Mediterranean on various boats (Farr40, A40, A35, IMX38, J80, etc.). This allowed me to experience roles as a skipper and crew leader.

With a degree in mechanical engineering and design, I settled in Lorient as an offshore race preparer. In 2020, I embarked on a Mini 6.50 project and achieved a remarkable 6th place on the second leg of the Mini Transat, sailing an older-generation boat !  I continue to gain experience by taking on the roles of boat captain and technical director in Class40, which also leads me to sail in this class during the RORC Caribbean 600 and the Défi Atlantique.

 Since 2023, I’ve been racing on the Figaro circuit. The 2024 season marks an important milestone for me — a year of discovery, growth, and continuous learning on a demanding and highly instructive circuit.

In 2025, I joined the Article 1 association, whose colors I now proudly represent, with high ambitions for the next edition of La Solitaire du Figaro
