I was Born in Brasil. Not happy with big city life and working as a lawyer everyday, I left and built a carrier working in outdoor education, leading expeditions and professional courses in Alaska, Patagonia, Norway, Mexico, Argentina, Brasil.
In doing so I was able to travel around the world, leading multi month sea kayaking expeditions for youth, adults, corporate leaders, and professional and unique groups. Drawing from this diverse background I am able to connect with people from all walks of life. I went on to perform my own solo expeditions, in a search for personal growth.
My journeys have allowed me to meet incredible people and to interact with many different cultures. After many years of experience in leading expeditions in some of the most intense parts of the world, I have empowered many people to find purpose and grow their own ability to lead themselves and others.
My life path has been one of an open mind, challenging myself, learning and sharing those skills. Graduated as a Lawyer, studied philosophy, certified as Wilderness First Responder, Leave no Trace Master Educator, American Canoe Association Open Water Instructor.
Being an expert in the field, I have being able to coach a diverse clientele in Risk Management, Decision Making, Team Management and personal growth. I am a father of two boys, an avid wood carver and a kayak adventurer.
Being able to translate the learnings and approaches from working with high performing groups in real and remote situations with real risks, into daily life, family and community, has enhanced the capacity of many people to face adversity, achieve goals and care for others.
