Sustainability - Enthusiast, from 2008 on

Although it is not the main focus of my career, I'm very into the theme, especially concerning civil construction practices and planning, but not only. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and LBC (Living Building Challenge) are very familiar certifications.


Traveling - Round the World Trip, from sep/01/2014 up to dec/01/2015

Travelled for 15 months, through 37 countries. Challenges and rewards of learning different cultures got me lots of stories.


Rugby - Player , coach and enthusiast, from 1996 on,

I played on the Brazil national first stage for almost a decade and one of my goals is to be present on every Rugby World Cup since I've been to 2011 and 2015 already.
