Raised in the cold south, started playing professional soccer and at 17 moved abroad. Italy, US, Ex-Yugoslavia and then back to São Paulo. Started working in a multinational British company that moved me to Rio de Janeiro. Graduated in Law and Business Administration. From there and since the 80,s I´ve been living in the sunny northeastern city of Salvador. Father of 4, divorced. After 20 years with that company decided to take 2 sabatic years and went to Europe for a Master´s Degree in Spain. In my return decided to go to the health environment and graduated in Psychoanalysis and Neurosciences.Working at non profit hospitals since them. Presently, I´m the CEO of the Hospital da Sagrada Família, who attends mostly people without money or health plans.

It´s a story of resiliency. Being orphan of both parents at the age of 3, having a very hard experience as a child and teenager, it was the hardest way to learn how to survive and later on understand the limits and how to establish relationships. Thanks to a number of people and later to the Psychoanalysis that helped me to understand and forgive the past, me included, I could raise a family and today I´m the proud father of 4 happy kids with and a grandson. What would be a typical story of failure, turned out to be a story of overcoming obstacles and success as far as the search for a decent life and happiness is concerned. Today I try to help others in situations that need to be oriented and counseled.
