He was born in 1983 and grew up in Thessaloniki. He is a qualified Snowboard instructor (Level 1 & 2) from the Austrian WSSV (Wiener Ski und Snowboard Lehrer Verband).

He has been a mountain rescuer for the Greek Rescue Team and is certified for avalanche search and rescue by the French ANENA.

His “day job” is an architect, but his love for the mountains led him to constantly attend educational and training seminars and with the aim of obtaining the relevant certifications.

His motto is SAFETY FIRST and his goal is to help young, or slightly older children, in their next steps in Snowboarding, but also in the ever-growing Splitboard.
