Je suis né à Paris, après mon bac philo, j'ai étudié droit à l'université de Paris. J’ai ensuite reçu une formation, par le centre culturel français de Milan, pour une méthode d’enseignement du français à travers l’audiovisuel. Cette méthode s’est révélée valable pour l’enseignement des langues étrangères en général.
J'ai enseigné le français en Italie en adoptant cette méthode dans des écoles de traducteurs-interprètes et interprètes parlementaires, et dans des écoles de langues. Je suis rapidement passé de l’enseignement à la réalisation de cours audiovisuels de langues, en commençant par des cours d’anglais : English between friends et surtout Live from England, tourné entièrement en Angleterre avec la participation de plus de 80 acteurs professionnels.
Ce parcours m'a conduit à travailler aux Etats-Unis où j'ai créé le service de production audiovisuelle de Berlitz School of Languages à Princeton New Jersey, pour le compte de la maison d'édition Macmillan, alors propriétaire de la marque Berlitz.
Aux États-Unis, je suis devenu membre de l'American Film Institute.
De retour en Europe, j'ai réalisé de nombreux films culturels, reportages, documentaires en tant que réalisateur et cinéaste, principalement en Afrique et en Asie, avec plusieurs reportages et films diffusés par RAI (radio-télévision italienne) et d'autres chaînes.
J'ai également réalisé des cours vidéo de français en deux versions (Il francese per te, et French for you), l'une destinée aux italophones et l’autre destinée au monde anglophone et des cours d’anglais avec des versions différentes pour italophones et francophones. Mon expérience d'enseignant m'a appris que les difficultés d'apprentissage du français ou de l'anglais sont différentes selon la langue maternelle des élèves.
