Flying because
Since I started paragliding, I have become completely obsessed with it! The pure adventure and unmatched scenery make for incredible sensations of freedom. It is the perfect game!
Goals
In 2025, I had a very good start to the season, with good competition results in Jura H&F and Bornes to Fly. Then I participated in the Red Bull X-Alps, it was a blast! I managed to do very good in the prologue, and keep up for 6 days with the middle field until I had to stop due to a foot fracture.
In 2026, I will again train hard and do many H&F XC races, with the goal to get fit to hopefully return to the X-Alps in two years! Along the way I want to stay healthy, have fun, fly some XC and some XC comps.
Successes
I have participated in international hike and fly competitions (Red Bull X-Alps 2525, Bornes2Fly, X-Pyr 2024, Mont Blanc Air Tour 2023, Dolomiti Super Fly 2022, Eigertour 2022/23, Vercofly 2023/24/25, etc) with good rankings. I was selected for the 2025 Red Bull X-Alps!
I have a good cross country paragliding track record with a 300km flight, several 200km+ flights and 100km+ flights, including in the Alps and the US.
I was USA EN-C cross country league champion in 2018. I also fly in XC comps to sharpen my game.
