About Me

Hello from Canada's capital, Ottawa! Originally hailing from vibrant Sao Paulo, Brazil. When I'm not working as a marketing director or training to get my pilot's license, I'm deep in plans for our next magical escapade to the Walt Disney World Resort, including our favorite park, Hollywood Studios, and how to eat all the food Disney can offer, or dreaming about setting sail aboard the Disney Cruise Line ships with a stop (or two!) at Castaway Cay. I'm a devoted husband and a proud father of two energetic boys, and you can probably hear us singing anything from Moana, Encanto, The Jungle Book or The Lion King from across the street at all times.

About My Family

To celebrate our first anniversary, my wife and I took our first international trip as a couple to Disneyland Paris, fulfilling her lifelong dream of hugging her favorite Disney pal, Goofy. This initial adventure ignited a passion that led us to explore numerous Disney resorts across the globe, crafting enchanting memories alongside our two beloved boys while making videos of all our trips together. There's an unparalleled joy in reliving our escapades through the enchanting landscapes of Disney's Magic Kingdom or the allure of Disney's Hollywood Studios, especially during the cold and snowy winters of Canada, while eagerly dreaming about our next magical getaway.

About My Disney Experience

I was lucky (and proud!) to be selected to be a Cast Member at Disney's Hollywood Studios when I was in college back in Brazil as part of the International College Program in 2009. From the first time I set my eyes on Cinderella Castle, I was hooked and instantly knew that my life would never be the same. Between that and marrying another Disney aficionado, it's no surprise that we are a Disney family. Every moment spent at my dearest Hollywood Tower Hotel and assisting guests during Fantasmic! shows was a cherished thrill. Yet, the true magic lies in sharing this passion—celebrating my child's first birthday immersed in Disney wonder and announcing our second pregnancy amid a Disney's Magic Kingdom parade, where Mickey himself joined our joyous revelation. Our family's tapestry is woven with these enchanting memories from Disney theme parks around the world. As our children continue to grow, we eagerly anticipate creating more treasured moments and expanding our collection of magical memories.
