I was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am very grateful to have traveled a lot to play the beautiful game. Throughout my career I played of course in Brazil for Sport Club Corinthians Paulista & Associação Portuguesa de Desportos. In 1998, I went to Peru and joined Club Deportivo Avicion FAP. I spent two years in Germany with Bahlinger SC, from 2000 to 2002.
I moved to the U.S. in 2004 to join the Dallas Sidekicks where I was introduced to the indoor soccer game. I also played for several indoor teams in the U.S. including Milwaukee Wave, Detroit Ignition, Philadelphia Kick, Baltimore Blast, California Cougars & Omaha Vipers. With all this experience I was eventually invited to the U.S. Futsal National team & Brazil indoor soccer team.
Also I played outdoor soccer in the U.S. for Miami FC. Since 2019 I join the Dallas Sidekicks Coaching board as well with a bigger role on the coaching side.
I met my wife in 2004 at Gloria Latin Cuisine and we have 2 beautiful children. On my free time I like to enjoy time with my family and friends on or off the field.
Professional Stats:
Scored 126 goals and recorded 207 assists in 320-game career with the Dallas Sidekicks, Milwaukee Wave, California Cougars, Detroit Ignition, Philadelphia Kick, Omaha Vipers, Baltimore Blast and Florida Tropics.
