In 2015 he launched his new concept, La Cage – Brasserie sportive, basing its menu on quality, fresh ingredients and local products. To date, the results of this repositioning have been undeniable and will ensure the chain’s longevity for the years to come.
A driven businessman, he is actively involved in promoting sports and accepted the presidency of the Jeux du Québec in 2005.
