Skating: 19 years

I got into freestyle skating 15 years ago with my friends after we saw a video of Rodney Mullen skating. We practiced all the time at Ibirapuera Park and even entered a contest that same year where I placed 5th in the Amateur Division. I am very lucky to have such great mentors in my life like Per Canguru, Rene Shigueto, Edgar Corujito, Écio Fibum, Rodrigo “Jackass” and Thomas Nasto.

I graduated from university with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy degree and make a living as a buyer for JMF CONSTRUÇÕES, a large construction company here in Brazil. When I am not skating I play soccer, ride my bike, play ps4 (FIFA lol), love reading, and watching NETFLIX series and YouTube videos. I also mess around on my acoustic guitar and drums but I’m rookie. I did attend the World Round-Up in 2013 and had a ball in Canada.
