I've always been passionate about fitness and sports. Growing up in Brazil, I played many different sports. I was a competitive soccer player and also trained and competed in Judo for several years.

When I was 19 years old, I joined the Brazilian Marine Corps and was active duty for 10 years. For 2 of those years I was honored to be a military athlete, competing and representing the Marine Corps in  Judo regionals and State championships.
 

Over a decade ago, I decided to start Physical Education and Sports School in Rio de Janeiro-Brazil (Estacio de Sa University), and took several courses and certifications.

Beginning in my 20s, I have spent years running, climbing mountains, undergoing several military training and schools, doing strength and conditioning training, participating in a variety of running events, competing in triathlons (olympic distance and 70.3 IronMan distance), and most importantly, coaching and helping people from all ages and backgrounds achieve their fitness goals.

I am currently a Career Firefighter and US Army Combat Medic in the US Army National Guard and continue to engage in multiple sports.

I'm a runner by heart, experienced triathlete, and I strive to live a long and healthy life which I have found through fitness and physical activity.

I look forward to having you on my team!
