What is your occupation: Full time shooting sport athlete

What is your proudest moment: Every time I’m in a final shoulder to shoulder with the strongest shooters in the world, showing that I’m also capable of greatness

Do you have a favourite motto: Learn from failure as much as possible and continuously evolve in all aspects as a person and athlete

What is the best advice you’ve ever been given: I don’t have a favourite one, but the majority come from old-school shooters. They were the foundation on which I could later build upon

Why do you like ELEY: Both tenex and tenex air provide a high level of performance which is crucial for high scores. I like the recoil behaviour, which provides the feedback I need for shot analysis

How long have you been using ELEY: The first time I used ELEY was around 1999/2000

Best result using ELEY: So far I have won medals at World Cups and European Games, been in many ISSF and ESC finals, and won all there is many times over at National competitions

What are your hobbies: I like to build and create with my hands and mind. I’m interested in construction, wood working, materials with special properties, and mechanics. I also enjoy outdoor sports
