He broke off school in 1992 but resumed taking classes in 1994, aiming at vocational training in electrical engineering. On 1994, in parallel with his classes, he started working as an electrician at the Socalec company near Haguenau Airport, where he was the oldest apprentice and already noted for his daring/reckless driving style.
