CEO & Head Coach of CrossFit Winter Haven

My journey with sports began since I was 13 years old, when I started playing professional basketball in Brazil. In 2012 I had my first experience with CrossFit and with that, the feeling of challenging myself in every workout. In CrossFit I found and understood the sense of community.

That's when I decided to extend that feeling and experience to others and opened my own CrossFit in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro in 2013. One of my brightest spots with the sport was in 2018 when I went to the Regionals in South America.

At the same year I decided to move to USA to start a new journey in a different country. Since there I've learned new skills and improved my English, working my way until I got a position as a coach in New Jersey. In these 5 years being a Coach in the USA I was able to develop professionally and as a person. 

I've made great connections and friendships for life, people that are now family to me. 

With that feeling growing on me again, I noticed that I needed it to expand and challenge myself to a next level. Opening my own CrossFit in the USA, Florida.

After a lot of effort, passion and determination, CrossFit Winter Haven became from a dream to reality. 

Our mission with CrossFit Winter Haven is to build up a strong community that support each other, like a family.

Showing up everyday and delivering our best being committed to make each member fill their fullest potential.
