When I was 3 years old I had a little bike that ran on a battery. One day I destroyed it and cried to my parents telling them that I didn't want the bike anymore because it was way to slow. So they bought me a PW50 Yamaha for Christmas and I started doing local races and I was winning right away.

I did the french championship when I was around 6 and got the title in the 50cc class.

In 96 I got selected to be in the french junior team and Patrick Boniface was the trainer, the team was Eric Sorby,Jerome Hemery Steve Boniface and I. It was a lot of fun there, I left home to live in south the France(Aix en Provence) I am from North of France. In 97 I got 2nd in the European MX championship I miss the tittle by 3 points, I remember in Poland I broke my bike in the first moto and I didn't have a extra bike for the 2nd moto I didn't make any points at that race.

98 I did some GP with some pretty good results and got 2nd in the French SX championship, I was on a Yamaha 125 since 96 99. I went with KTM got the French title and won Bercy on front of Fonseca.

2000 went to the USA with KTM and got 5th in the West coast

2001 I sign with Suzuki Factory with Pastrana and Windham and I got 2nd in the west and got 8th in the outdoor I was 3rd before a injury (shoulder) I missed 5 rounds I got overall podium almost every outdoor I did.

2002 I sign with Yamaha of Troy I podium the first 5 SX and had to stop my season because my shoulder that I hurt the season before was popping out all the time, I had a surgery.

2003 I could not find a ride because I was out in 02 so I sign a contract with Husqvarna Factory to do the GP I finish 12 on a 125 Two stroke

2004-2006 I took a break because I had lot of personal issues in my life.

2006 I put a little team together to do the west coast and I am doing better in my personal life.

Voila!!

God bless you
