Although I work for Tecgraf/PUC-Rio located in Rio de Janeiro, since 2003 I live in Porto Alegre with my wife and daughter. I work at home and I like a lot what I do for living.
My favorite TV shows were X-Files and Lost, now Game of Thrones, Westworld, Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Blacklist, Grimm, Stranger Things and so many others. I'm also addicted to classic rock, animation and comic books.
Regularly I attend to Traditional Shotokan Karate training at the Shinkukan dojo. Eventually I dedicate some time for Photography.
You can also reach me with Google Hangouts or Skype, just search for my e-mail to find my contact. But be aware that they are used for work, close friends and family contact only.
Since around 1984 I train Karate. I started with Sensei Gilberto Gaertner at Bodhidharma dojo in Curitiba. In Rio de Janeiro I trained in several dojos, but I started and stopped many times because of graduate and post graduate studies at PUC-Rio. Finally in Porto Alegre I got back to regularly training with Sensei Alfredo Aires at Shinkukan dojo since 2003, and never stopped.
The Karate style I train is Shotokan, created by Sensei Gichin Funakoshi in the beginning of the 20th century. Our dojo is associated to the Japan Karate Association (JKA), that represents the Shotokan style. Our training is based on Traditional Karate as practiced in Japan and follows the rules and regulations of the International Traditional Karate Federation (ITKF).
In October 2014 I completed the V Karate-do Instructor Course conducted by the Sul Riograndense State Traditional Karate Federation.
In October 2018 I received the 4º DAN graduation from the Sul Riograndense State Traditional Karate Federations (FSRKT) and JKA-RS.
And in March 2019 I started a social program where I teach Karate for free in a fundamental school (ages 12 to 15) in Porto Alegre.
My photography has two phases: film and digital, like many other amateur photographers.
I started taking pictures when I was 14 using a small rangefinder Minolta AL that was a gift from my father. He taught me what matters most and then set me free.
During the film phase I used a Pentax MX and a Pentax ZX-7. Most of the photos where processed in an amateur laboratory that I shared with some friends (Maurício, George, Carim and Joana). This lab was located in bathrooms of several houses. To all the respective bathroom owners my sincerely acknowledgements.
The digital phase started with a Sony DSC-W1 with 5Mp, while still using film. Now I don't use film anymore. My first DSLR camera was a Pentax K10D. My current camera is a Nikon D7500.
Still have almost all my cameras.
I keep my most considered photos at Flickr (a selection) and Instagram (the best).
