About: I'm a French-Canadian with a touch of fire in my blood. I'm lucky enough to be the father of a beautiful young daughter and the husband of an extraordinary woman who has supported me in my passion for shooting sports from the very beginning, without ever asking questions. We live in Quebec City, Canada.

I started shooting at a very young age thanks to my grandfather. Shooting competitions with air gun shaped my childhood right up to adulthood. I only started shooting PRS in 2016 when the sport took off locally here in Quebec.

I got hooked immediately, and it's been pretty much all I've done since. I don't hesitate to try out other long-distance shooting disciplines such as F-class. I think that being multidisciplinary allows me to learn more without having blinders on.

If I'm not shooting, which doesn't happen very often, I give priority to my family and also to spending time in nature, either hunting or simply enjoying it on my MTB or hiking.
