He is a veterinarian graduated from the University of Liège. He completed a PhD thesis titled Juvenile osteoarthritis in the Ardennes draft horse. His main interests and expertise domains are a specialization in horse biomechanics (locomotor system), a knowledge of veterinary medicine, physiology and equine anatomy alongside knowledge of sporting aspects, equestrian competitions and an educational approach to horse riding. He also carries out a small horse breeding and boarding business. All his activities have led him to know the equestrian industry in his country well.
