D\u00e9buts :<\/strong> Il \u00e9tait terrifi\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019id\u00e9e de participer \u00e0 son premier camp d\u2019entra\u00eenement de bobsleigh en raison de l\u2019intensit\u00e9 de tous les hommes imposants de l\u2019\u00e9quipe, mais le camp lui a ouvert les yeux sur le d\u00e9vouement n\u00e9cessaire pour faire du bobsleigh.<\/p>\n

Au\u2011del\u00e0 du bobsleigh : <\/strong>Il poss\u00e8de un dipl\u00f4me en \u00e9conomie appliqu\u00e9e et gestion avec sp\u00e9cialisation en marketing obtenu en 2010 \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9 Cornell.
