As many Triathletes it was love at first feel, but it was until January of 2009 when he decided to follow his dreams as a Triathlete. The first step was to dedicate to training and racing. 2009 Was a good year and results started to show. The second part started in May of 2010 by moving to Kona Hawaii, so now in Kona he is able to train full time and race with the best to see how far he can go in the world rankings, there's also a big plus of living on Kona, that's just spend time at the Beach with his wife Paola.
