Biography

Born in Japan and raised in the United States by a Canadian mother and Italian father: his life has been a mix of cultures and passports, but, after having been a junior in the US and a senior in Canada, he eventually chose Italy. His great-grandparents left Catania to seek their fortune in America, while he chose to start rediscovering his origins after Rio 2016. The Games in Brazil finished with a bitter fourth place in the 100m freestyle and the decision to take a break from swimming, then the change of nationality that has given him the new motivation necessary to look ahead. Having moved to the camp of the sprint swimmers of Claudio Rossetto, he trains in Rome with his relay teammates, with whom he works to reach important goals. Before going down into the water, he has a very special superstitious ritual: raising his middle finger towards the tribune, where his father Joseph is watching him.
