When I first started my fitness journey, it wasn’t in the gym – it was on the tennis court.

 

Growing up, I trained all my life in competitive sports. As a junior tennis player, I competed at a high level and moved to the UK to attend a full-time tennis academy at Loughborough University.

 

At nine years old, I was introduced to elite-level strength and conditioning training, which became a foundation for my athletic development.

​

Injuries forced me to leave tennis, but I found a new passion in golf. I rose to the top 500 in the world amateur rankings, 1200 in the professional rankings, represented Brazil, and earned a full scholarship to play Division 1 college golf in the U.S.

 

Despite this success, the gym always felt like home. It was a space where my effort translated into progress, unlike the unpredictable nature of competitive sports.

​

A wrist injury and two surgeries sidelined me for the last year of my college career, ending my professional golf ambitions. During this challenging time, the gym became my escape.

 

I began training and programming for myself but focused on bodybuilding and ate anything I could get my hands on, I looked fit but I sure din't feel it. I quickly remembered the importance of structured, performance-focused coaching.

​

Joining the Every Move Academy reignited my passion for training, performance, and coaching. I renewed my certifications, gained advanced knowledge in athletic performance training, and discovered my true purpose: helping others unlock their potential.

​

I help men discover their full potential with a mindset to:

​

Get stronger than they ever imagined

Build confidence in their bodies

Develop nutrition and lifestyle habits that last

Prioritise health and fitness for life’s ripple effects

Perform and take on challenges they never thought they could

 

Today, I train to perform at my highest level and guide others to build bodies and minds that are Fit For Purpose – fit, just as much as they look fit.
