SWISSBASKET PROFILE

My own full SWISSBASKET profile to see all the games in LNB league and LNA league.

I was born on September 8, 2005, in Sorengo, a small village in Switzerland. I hold dual Swiss and French nationality. I am 5’7″ tall and weigh 134 lbs. My native language is Italian, but I also speak French, English, and a little bit of German.

I started playing basketball at 6 years old, thanks to my dad who played professionally basketball around Europe in Switzerland and France.

At the age of 16 i took a big step in leaving my parents behind to go play at the best switzerland’s league, which is Swiss National Championship division A with team of Hélios Basket (french part of Switzerland). After graduating from high school I decided to come to the United States to further my basketball experience, being the reason why i came to DME Academy in Daytona Beach (Florida) as a post grad to seek numerous opportunities.

I took part in the European Championships with the Swiss U16 national team in Slovakia in the summer of 2021, then in 2022 in the U20 European Championships in Macedonia, in the summer 2024 the U20 European Championships in Romania, where we finished 4th, last summer the U20 European Championship in Bulgary.

I’m passionate about basketball and I’m always looking for new challenges to grow and make my sporting dreams come true!
