Born under the gentle sun of the South of France, on a February 24th that marked the beginning of an extraordinary life, I was a globetrotter at heart from a very young age. I had barely blown out my two candles when I was already traveling with my parents, visionary entrepreneurs, the vast expanses of the Indian Ocean, the multi-colored lands of South America, the varied regions of North America, without forgetting France and the captivating islands of the Caribbean. It was in these diverse places that my parents wove the web of their flourishing businesses, thus offering me a childhood rocked by entrepreneurship and adventure.

Travel shaped my worldview, broadening my horizons and sharpening my curiosity for cultures and international business. This early exposure to the business world naturally led me to studies in business law and real estate, where I acquired a deep understanding of the legal mechanisms that govern commerce and property. Alongside my academic studies, I developed a passion for sports, and not just any sports: board sports. Windsurfing, water skiing, kitesurfing, all disciplines that require discipline, audacity and a constant search for balance, qualities that have also benefited me in my professional life.
My youth was a balance between the ardor of the classroom and the exhilaration of the trade winds or the breaking waves. Every competition, every wave mastered, every contract studied, every negotiation conducted, all this contributed to forging a resilient, adaptable personality ready to take on challenges. The lessons learned on the turquoise lagoons and in the crystal clear waters taught me the importance of perseverance, strategy and innovation.

In January 1996, I settled on the enchanting island of Martinique, a place that would become the setting for my next big business. Six years later, in June 2002, with the complicity and support of my wife and partner Blandine, a companion as determined and visionary as I was. We understood the interest and power that the Internet would bring. That's why we acquired big domain names like fiscalescalisation.com, immobilier.net,emprunt.com, gestion-locative.com which led us to found the AFDI Group (Agence Française De l'Immobilier) a company that would reflect its commitment to excellence and its love for the different areas of real estate. The success of this company was such that we opened several agencies in France, the Caribbean, Polynesia and the Indian Ocean with partnerships in Switzerland, Florida and Canada.
Today, I draw on this rich heritage of experiences to navigate the complex world of real estate and business. My atypical journey is a testament to how early childhood experiences can shape and define our future. I am living proof that boundaries are meant to be crossed and that no matter where life takes us, the lessons learned along the way are our compass for the future.
