I was born in St.Moritz in 1978. My father is Italian and my mother Swiss. I Graduated school in '98 and became a snowboard pro after that. I was Pro until 2001/2002 when, after a serious health problem, had to decide what to do next. I went to Milan to attend a 3D design school then graduated in 2005 and got a job in a film studio in Torino where I worked on my first feature film (Donkey Xote). My job was to animate the characters, it was a great experience and I'm very grateful that they gave me the chance to start with a project this size right away. After two years in Torino I got the chance to move to Munich. The animation studio in Munich, Trixter film Gmbh, opened the door to many prestigious projects, like Ironman 2 and Ninja Assassin, but work wise one of the most creative jobs was to work on a German children movie called Hexe Lilli, A chubby Little Dragon that can hardly fly but has to save the world.
Being in Munich reconnected me to the snowboard world, old time local friend and TTR president Reto Lamm gave me a place to stay and introduced me to life in Munich. One day sitting in the Beergarden I tell Reto that it would be great if TTR would make a video game and if that ever happens I would love to be part of it. A few month later Reto asks me to come to the TTR assembly in Innsbruck, apparently there will be a person from a gaming company who is interested in making a snowboard game. I show up, meet Jorgen Tharaldsen, from a gaming company in Norway. Now its one and a half years later and I'm sitting in Oslo working on a snowboard game concept. To see more
