Biography
He does not have the typical curriculum of a beach volleyball player, having been born in the province of Pordenone to a Canadian mother. However, initial contact with the sport at the age of eight was enough for him to be captivated, and after a brief career in indoor volleyball, he finally managed to dedicate himself to it body and soul. In late 2022, he returned to the scene alongside his partner Adrian Carambula, with whom he stepped onto the second step of the European podium in 2015 and took part in the Rio 2016 Games. In his life, ever since he was a child, he has found time above all for a healthy bond with nature, for which he nurtures a deep respect and in which he loves to immerse himself on foot, on his bicycle or on a motorcycle. Resilient and continuously driven by the desire to reinvent himself to find new solutions, his mind is now on Paris 2024 but, in a more distant future, he already has the idea of moving overseas to his mother's homeland.
