ebida e isso me atraiu e a viajem era de graca. (risos) Ate que comcei a participar dos Jogos Regionais, que para aquela epoca o objetivo era ir para os Jogos Regionais, e depois pensar em outras competicoes como estadual, brasileiro etc....
Mas como o tempo foi passando a idade chegando tive que comecar a trabalhar. Trabalhei 6 meses como temporario e depois 3 anos como efetivo no SESI como Salva - Vidas ( hoje Guarda - Vidas). Para mim era dificil conciliar o trabalho com os treinos, ja que ou iria muito cedo, ou perdia o dia, mas com muita paciencia e determinacao fui conseguindo treinar e trabalhar. Nao era facil ter que levantar as 4:30 da manha para ir para a academia, ou mesmo para a pista com tudo escuro, as vezes frio ou chovendo, mas eu sabia que um dia o sol ia brilhar pra mim. Ate que em 2004 ano dos Jogos Olimpicos me mudei de Indaiatuba para a cidade de Sao Paulo onde morei por varios anos dentro do Ginasio do Ibirapuera (Redondo). Lembro que naquela epoca, meio dificil mas bem aproveitada, como a "grana" era curta eu e outros dois companheiros que viviam comigo la faziamos a famosa "vaquinha" pra comprar comida que era miojo e sasicha, e pra esquentar o miojo se no "redondo" nao tinha fogao??? Simples o chuveiro saia uma agua fervendo quase e alguns minutos alias mais de 3 minutos, ai o miojo ficava pronto e era so comer e assim foi por um bom tempo, ate as coisas comecarem a melhorar. Veio o brasileiro Sub - 23, depois em 2007 o GP do Rio, e no final de 2007 tive a maior mudanca de toda minha. Ficar longe de casa, nao eh facil ainda mais sabendo que nao vai ser mais como antes que cada fim de semana eu poderia ir pra minha casa, ou que poderia estar falando com meus pais todo o tempo, mas aceitei o desafio. Atualmente continuo vivendo em Porto Rico desde 2007, muitas coisas acontecerao de la para ca, fui vice campeao universitario 3x na prova dos 110m com barreiras, mas em 2010 eu decidi parar de treinar, mas como o futuro so Deus que sabe voltei a treinar em 2011 e fui finalista do Trofeu Brasil e fiquei bem perto do meu melhor resultado com poucos meses de treino. Fiz a base 2011/2012 e tive uma experiencia muito boa que foi competir indoor, com grandes expectativas de fazer o indice para o mundial indoor mas fiquei um pouco longe, mas valeu muito mesmo ate porque depois do indoor comecaria as competicoes outdoor e importantes competicoes estariam por vir. Ate que este ano de 2012 consegui realizar parte de algo que todo atleta profissional deseja pra sua carreira que eh servir ao seu ao seu pais. Fui abencoado com a vaga para o Campeonato Ibero - Americano de Atletismo na Venezuela, minha primeira selecao, mas como sempre as coisas nao vem facil a maior dificuldade agora seria a responsabilidade de treinar sozinho ja que meu treinador elabora os treinos e me envia e eu os executo, mas caberia a mim a determinacao o esforco o sacrificio e mais importante objetivo para poder seguir e treinar ainda mais sendo uma prova tecnica, mas eu acredito que todo esforco tem a sua recompensa, e espero poder ir mais e mais adiante porque meus sonhos apenas estao comecando a se realizar.....

I started in athletics by swimming in 1996/97, one day we were doing some testing at the racetrack Social Service of Industry (SESI), and coach Ciro Teruo Kikuti made me an invitation to begin attending classes athletics. Until then still playing basketball and other modalities. I was enjoying athletics, because the first trip I made, I got a snack and a beverage
and that appealed to me and was the journey of grace. (Laughs) I participate in the regional games, which at that season the goal was to go to the regional games, and then think about other competitions like state, Brazilian championships etc ....
But as time passed the age had come I had to start work. I worked six months as temporary and after 3 years as effective as the SESI Saves - Lives (Guard - Lives today). For me it was difficult to combine work with training, or I woke up too early, or lose the day, but with much patience and determination I was able to train and work. It was not easy having to get up at 4:30 in the morning to go to the gym, or even on the track with all darkness, sometimes cold or raining, but I knew that one day the sun would shine for me. Until in 2004 the year of Olympics I moved from Indaiatuba(hometown) to the city of Sao Paulo where I lived for several years in the Ibirapuera Gymnasium (Redondo). I remember that at that time, but through hard put to good use, as the "money" I was short and two other companions who lived with me did it the famous "kitty" to buy food that was sausage and noodles, and the noodles to warm up in " Round " (REDONDO) had no cooker?? Simple shower pull off a nearly boiling water and a few minutes, more than 3 minutes, the noodles was al ready and so was eating well and was for a while, until things get better. Came the Brazilian Under - 23, in 2007 after the Rio GP, and in late 2007 had the biggest change of all mine. One challenge we had ever imagined, living outside the country. Being away from home, it 's not easy even knowing it will not be like before most every weekend I could go to my house, or they could be talking to my parents all the time, but I accepted the challenge. Currently still living in Puerto Rico since 2007, many things happen to me. I was vice champion 3 times university in the 110m hurdles race, but in 2010 I decided to stop training, but about the future, only God knows, so I returned to train in 2011 and I was a finalist for the Brazil Trophy Championships, and was very close to my best result with few months of training. I made the base 2011/2012 and had an experience that was very good indoor racing, with great expectations of making the time for the World Indoor Championships but I was a bit far, but very worth it because even after the indoor and outdoor competitions begin at important competitions would be forthcoming. Until this year, 2012 could perform part of something every professional athlete wants his career to serve his nation. I was blessed with a place at the Ibero - American Championships in Venezuela, my first national team, but as always things do not come easy to me, the most difficult now would be the responsibility of training alone since my trainer prepare my workouts and sends me the training, but it would behoove me the determination to sacrifice and effort the most important goal to be able to go and train with even more proof technique, but I believe that every effort has its rewards, and hope to go further and further because my only dreams are beginning to come true .....
