I was always passionate about circus arts from a very young age, my mom always brought me to see the circus when it came to town. My childhood dream was to create my own circus with a lot of animals, then when I turned 12 I saw "Saltimbanco" by Cirque Du Soleil, and from there I became a huge fan of the company, afterwards I saw "Alegria" in 2012 and I saw a girl wearing a yellow unitard manipulating a ribbon and some hoops, that led me to start practising Rhythmic Gymnastics. Unfortunatetly being a man I couldn't compete in Italy, so I've spent 6 months training and competing in Spain, there their federation is the only one who provides competitons from men and boys. A year later I stopped, because I realized that I'm not a competitive person, so I started practising aerial arts in a small gym in Ireland, a year later I've auditioned for circus school "Flic" in Turin, were I've studied for 3 years. At the end of the 3rd year I tried to apply for Cirque Du Soleil twice, and in both occasions they told me that they want me to gain experience in order for them to hire me, so here I am applying for any job opportunities where I can showcase my aerial skills (not only hoop, but also straps and silks) so that I can gain that experience they want me to have so that they can hire me in the future.
