I was born in Milano, Italy. As a former Italian skater, I became a three-time Italian National Champion and competed multiple times in the Junior World Championships, European and World Senior Championships, in addition to the 1992 (Albertville FRA) and 1998 (Nagano JPN) Winter Olympic Games.

After my competitive career, I decided to become a coach following the suggestion of Carlo and Christa Fassi, my coaches at the time. I started coaching in Milano and my students reached the National Championships in the Novice, Junior, and Senior levels, as well as the European and World Championships ( multiple times ) and the Olympic Games in 2002 (Salt Lake City USA). In 2004, I was contacted by the Olympic Regional Developmental Authority with the offer of moving to Lake Placid, NY to become a part of the local coaching staff. The collaboration with ORDA went so well that three years later I became the Director of the Olympic Center Skating School in Lake Placid, a program dedicated to skaters at the competitive level. The program provided support to several skaters from different countries who participated in the European Championships, Four Continents, and World Championships. Within four years, three different students of the "OCSS" reached the Junior US National and the US National Championships multiple times. In 2010, I moved to New York City. In 2018 I became figure skating director for the MidHudsonCivicCenter in Newburgh and Poughkeepsie, NY. I have had the pleasure once again of bringing my students to the US Nationals, the Junior World Championships, and the World Championships in 2014 (Tokyo JPN). In 2004, I became an ISU Technical Specialist.
