my mission
Sport fishing my passion, my lifestyle
the beginning
Born in 1977 in Naples, Italy, I embraced my passion for fishing since a very early age.
Since I was only 4, my family used to bring me along to a 2 months holiday in Greece. That’s where I first fall in love with the undersea world: in one of the most magical fishing spots of the entire Mediterranean Sea.
Since then, my passion for fishing kept growing. At only 16 years old I was elected the technical director of a sport fishing club in Naples, the Fishing Club Petrarca. I started to win competitions and in 1994 I became the trolling regional champion of the Italian federation. At 19 years old I moved to Parga, Greece, where I had my first sport fishing charter boats and a shipyard.
In 2004 I came back to Italy where I continued my charters and started to spread my knowledge, mostly through sport fishing magazines at the beginning.
Lots of partnerships and cooperation in different sport fishing branches started then:
documentaries (presenter and productions);
consulting;
communication, education, conservation;
testimonial;
events management.
