beautiful places and people of different cultures.


being a "fiery" player, a lot of screaming and celebrations during and in between the points. I

just got a special tattoo that would help me to balance the energy and emotions that I would

experience during my games.


where a lot of people would be enjoying watching me playing a great BV game. But also my

home place, La Grande Motte, where i could play and relax with my friends, having my

family around the court.


We're known as the "CES Brothers" on the tour. My brother just calls me "Kev".


i believe in me, my partner and also in beach volleyball to grow as a main sport inspiring

people to fight individually for their success
