CURRENT MISSION

Work hard, and have fun.

ABOUT ME

I am from the US and I have been living here in Rio for over one year. Here in Rio i have made a lot of friends, and i know the city pretty well. I played American Football here for Vasco da Gama for one year, but now I am training in Jiu Jitsu in Flamengo(Nova Uniao). I work often and I am actually looking to change jobs, and my living situation at the moment.
I speak portugues on a nearly fluent level, and i really understand the people and the culture out here.
I really like to laugh, joke around, and enjoy myself, however I am always respectful.
I am also a big guy, and i eat a lot. So i don't rely on anybody for my food! hahaha

PHILOSOPHY

Always bet on yourself, only pass your time with people who deserve it.
