My Story
As a professional sailor coming from the italian Alps, it’s a pleasure and an honor to represent my region I call home. I’m known for an aggressive style and wearing my heart on my sleeve while competing, but outside of work I consider myself a soft-spoken person. While I absolutely love training having sailing as my career, I like to think of myself as more than just an athlete. I’m working hard to be a positive role model to the youth of today by promoting physical activity, fairplay, and building a legacy people will remember me for.
About Me.
