ABOUT ME

I am a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, full time English-Spanish Interpreter, full time father, part time writer and part time Musician.

I enjoy traveling, music, a good conversation with good wine and good food. My partner, our baby and I lived in an RV we renovated for a full year. Now we are based in Minneapolis, planning our next big adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you’ve always got."

“Give light instead of wanting the spotlight on you.”

"The best trips are the ones that answer questions that you have never even thought about."

"Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for. " — Banksy

"Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve." ~Erich Fromm

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: a bit of everything, Chet Faker, trap music, cumbia and salsa.

Books: I like self help books a lot, but when I have time I love a good Sci Fi book.

Movies: Anything. I try not to watch much movies because I feel it takes time from real world experiences :)
