I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but spent most of my life in Massachusetts. I was blessed to grow up in a family deeply committed to following Jesus, which helped shape my personal relationship with Christ. From a young age, I developed a passion for playing the guitar, and helping others connect to God through music. I have served in worship ministry for many years at different churches.

Professionally, I’ve held various roles in facility management and construction. When the opportunity came to join the Grace Team, we asked God to give us peace in our hearts, and that's precisely what He did, confirming this was where he was guiding me to be. Working in an environment where my coworkers and I share the same beliefs is priceless. My wife, Anna, and I enjoy cooking together, going to waterfalls, and drinking coffee while watching the sunset. Serving the Lord brought us together, and we will continue to do so for the rest of our days.

One of the many blessings we have and often take for granted is being able to openly and freely serve God. My heart is filled with joy when I am able to worship God through service. My hope for Grace is that God continues to work through each of us and that our actions always point to Christ. “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” -1 Corinthians 10:31 (ESV)
