Growing up in Amsicora with coach Andrea Atzeni, at the end of 2016 he moved to Turin to be trained by Alessandro Nocera, moving to Riccardi Milano: due to his remarkable stature, he was nicknamed “gentle giant”.

In 2020 he became the father of little Leandro and returned to the island, followed on the field by his first coach Andrea Atzeni, with some periods in the Piedmontese capital during his competitive activity.
