In 2007, he worked as a journalist and editor-in-chief at TVA – Publications before freelancing for a few years. Subsequently, he served as a press officer on tour for the Cavalia circus. Upon returning to his home country, he held the position of an account director at Annexe Communications before taking on the role of director of press relations and public affairs at the Just for Laughs Festival for several years. As an adventurer and author, he has published two books with Éditions de l’Homme and dabbles in sculpture in his spare time.
