Biography
I was born in Ermoupoli of Syros-Greece, in 1974. I graduated from the National Academy of Physical Education and Sport Science with Bsc in Sailing Training – Category A’. I currently serve in the Coast Guard as a Navy Commander, where I was placed by the government due to my high-level sport achievements. For the same reason I have been awarded several times by the Ministry of Aegean. I got in touch with sailing at the age of 9, at Yacht Club of Syros, with Optimist dinghy. Until the age of 15 I was member of the National Optimist Team. After Optimist Class I started competing in Laser Class(now ilca 7)which was and still is one of the Olympic Sailing Classes. My sailing career, as you can see below, is full of major distinctions in high-level sailing regattas. That is the result of my constant choice of working professionally, most of the times against all odds, using structured programs and specific schedules inshore and offshore. I am a member of the National Sailing Team since 1989, member of the Olympic Sailing Team in 2000 and as a substractional in 2004 , 2008,2012,2016. I have won 6 times the World championship,two times second,2 times third.Also three times the European championship. 5 times balcan champion 4 times member of meditteranean team 23 times national champion in Laser,laser radial, Tornado.
