Triestino, classe ’59, da sempre appassionato di mare, ottiene il primo brevetto FIPSAS-CMAS nel 1989. Nel ’92, mentre era in vacanza alle Maldive, frequenta un corso di fotosub e visti i risultati incoraggianti, inizia a praticare con entusiasmo la fotografia subacquea dapprima con una Nikonos V e sucessivamente con una reflex Nikon scafandrata. Dopo qualche anno approda all’agonismo, dapprima nel safarifotosub, specialità che consiste nel “catturare” il maggior numero di specie di pesci, e poi anche nella fotosub.
Campione italiano safarifotosub cat. ARA master 2008 e 2011.
