I've always been drawn to the water, there was something about it that makes me feel alive. So I started surfing, wakeboarding, stand up paddleboarding and finally kitesurfing.

​

My dad was an avid windsurfer and he pushed me into the sport when I was 11 years old. Since day 1 I've been hooked and never looked back again.

 

It was the feeling of freedom, being surrounded by mother nature pure power and embracing the elements that set me alive. 

​

"So My passion, became my life, and my life, became my dream" 

​

At 13 years old, I started competing internationally. I managed to become Vice junior world champion at the age of 15year and that was my turning point to a professional athlete. 

​

This sport has provided me with so much and I can not be more grateful for everybody that has helped me get to where I am today. 

​

So if I can give you any advice it would be find an outlet, get lost in it and it will show you the way.
