I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I am a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and have been practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over twenty years. I was promoted to Black Belt in 1998 by Andre Pederneiras, founder of Nova União, and then moved to the U.S. I've been living in the U.S. since.
I am the Head Instructor of Nova União Arizona located within Arizona Combat Sports in Tempe, AZ.
