He was born in Nouméa.
He was elected President of that collectivity by the territorial Congress (Congrès du territoire) on April 5, 2001, reelected in November 2002 when the government collapsed following the resignation of a minister, and left office on June 10, 2004, when a new government was elected after his party, the anti-independence Rally for Caledonia inside the Republic (RPCR), lost parliamentary elections.
