About Me
On my everyday side, I work as a design engineer in the aerospace industry. I take pride in creating systems that fly high in the sky and even into outer space. But from there, my imagination soars toward the second star to the right. It then goes on to infinity and beyond, toward my Disney dad side.
Like Tony Stark, I enjoy building and fixing things. I look forward to helping you build magical memories and fixing you up with answers to your Disneyland Resort questions to help make the most of your Disney vacations.

About My Family
My wife and I are parents to four amazing children who love visiting the Disneyland Resort almost as much as we do.
Our family enjoys traveling and learning about different places and cultures. Two of our children speak Chinese. And I speak Portuguese, having lived in Brazil for nearly two years.
With two special needs children, we are also familiar with navigating our Disneyland Resort experiences using strategies to cope with special sensory and social interaction needs.
One of our family’s favorite activities is to sit down in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square, enjoying beignets from the Mint Julep Bar while we listen to Jazz music and watch the Rivers of America flow with peaceful energy.

About My Disney Experience
I first visited Disneyland at the age of 10, on a magical Christmas day. From that day on, I have been hooked! For our family, visiting the Disneyland Resort usually requires a 10-hour drive. For such a big adventure, we love to plan each visit as if it is our first. We look forward to fun, new entertainment and attraction experiences and foods to enjoy. We especially love visiting the Disneyland Resort during special holiday seasons and events.
Our family has also enjoyed sailing with Mickey, Minnie, the princesses, and all our beloved Disney and Marvel friends aboard the Disney Cruise Line to places like Mexico, the Bahamas, and Alaska. We have discovered that combining a visit to Disneyland Resort with a Disney cruise embarking out of Southern California makes for an unforgettable land and sea adventure!
As Disney Vacation Club members, we love to explore different resorts and experience new things. But we especially love to stay at our home resort, The Villas At Disneyland Hotel, where our favorite thing to do is relax by the E-Ticket Pool sipping Lava Smoothies.
