Start sporting career
He began the sport at age 12 in Thessaloniki, Greece. (FIG, 26 Mar 2019; sport-fm.gr, 31 Oct 2016)
Reason for taking up the sport
He was impressed by the jumps, rolls and flips involved in parkour. "I just wanted to be with my friends and run all day."
"I played a lot of football, I was very passionate. At age 12 I saw some kids in my neighbourhood doing something different. One of them dropped a jacket and I happened to find it. I asked him to tell me what he did, and he said, 'follow me.'" (in.gr, 09 Jul 2021)
Philosophy / Motto
"Parkour is not just about falling and getting back up, but if you fall, be sure to get back up." (athletestories.gr, 05 Dec 2021)

General
STUNT WORK
In 2022 he worked as a stuntperson in 'The Bricklayer' movie that was filmed in Thessaloniki, Greece. "At one point I had a sponsorship from a company that dealt exclusively with parkour in the United States of America, in Los Angeles. The company also had a lot of stuntmen, who played in almost every movie that came out of Hollywood. I had the opportunity to go and live in Hollywood permanently at their expense. Although I liked the idea of Hollywood, my mind was and is even more in Greece. I do not regret it. I'm more of an emotional guy, I didn't feel like going and staying [in the US], so I declined. So, since I didn't go to act in Hollywood films, five or six years later Hollywood came to me, in Greece and in Thessaloniki. It seems incredible to me, it's like a miracle. I had closed the door to Hollywood, so I never expected Hollywood to come to Thessaloniki." (voria.gr, 17 Apr 2022)
