What a journey it’s been with @toulousebs and @provalerugby getting back into the books and trying to upskill myself for the life after rugby. The sense of accomplishment tonight during our graduation was incredibly special 📚🎓👨🏽‍🎓 . . Merci @laurevitou , @candiceboulanger, @sophie_duplan et tout le personnel qui aide à rendre cela possible. . . To my amazing wife who supported and constantly motivated me but also kept the house in order and our kids entertained, bathed and fed while I was busy! And yet she’s still the more qualified one in our household. . . I definitely regret not finishing my studies back at RAU all those years ago and even though this diploma is not quite a BSc IT degree, I am thankful that I committed myself to seeing this course through!!
