Stefano was raised in Casablanca, Morocco. Since his youth he has had an intense passion for sports. He has competed in many basketball tournaments at the international level. He also worked as assistant coach to the Moroccan national basketball team and was lucky enough to be trained by international coaches such as John Kandlat, Russian coach Dossonov, and former Philadelphia 76er Sterling Wright.

Today, he works full time as an AFFA-certified personal trainer, training his long-term clients and creating personal fitness programs for clients ages 8-80. Over the years he has developed workout regimens for different populations including youths, seniors, and athletes.  Stefano also uses functional agility training with emphasis on increased motor skills, coordination, and balance.  His athletic training and kickboxing techniques have enhanced the motor skills of his athletes.

Although he no longer competes, Stefano trains regularly and always eats healthily — he is a role model for living fit!
