Early life

He wanted to be a pilot but couldn't because of his bad sight barring him from the belgian air force and because of the costs on the civilian side.<ref name=":0" />

He always liked drawning so he went to school in Namur to learn to draw, learned 3D which was part of the cursus, and found it far more enticing than comic book art and went into it.<ref name=":0" />

Trivia

He almost dropped 3D art because of bad experience at his previous work.<ref name=":0" />
