In general

I am out of comfort-zone enthusiastic with attitude of thinking out of the box and dreaming for a good future.

I am not interested in preserving the status quo.

I love outdoor sports and being in contact with nature.

As a boy I practiced stakeboarding and windsurfing I still today feel connected to the spirit of these sports. I am not properly a football fun and I prefer rugby.

Skateboarding is an art form, a lifestyle, a culture. I believe it offers some amazing benefits for the mind and body, teaches important lessons and long-term, lifelong skills as commitment, responsibility and determination, encourages confidence and courage, respect and values, self-empowerment and social skills, creativity.

Growing up I became passionate about all sports with a board as kitesurfing and snowboarding. All start with more failures before eventually making managing riding down a street or even doing a basic trick. Then after giving the process of learning some acceptance and time, eventually improvements are made while realizing, that it’s not a shame to fail, it’s even a bigger mistake to not even try…

My career have been following the same spirit. My next trick is to make ARTI a recognized brand by identity values within the protection of nature, the preservation of heritage and biodiversity, the development of cultural & creative ecosystem.

My quote

You will meet many people who will try to show their worth to you. The ones you'll never forget will help you to figure out yours.
