All About Me: (eg. interests, family, philosophy)
I have always loved sports, especially baseball and track. I grew up in a family of 4 boys -one brother and 3 cousins-, so my uncle Antonio treated me like one of the guys.
I danced for 13 years, competed in aerobics choreography, and ran track at the marathon level for 7 years in my home land, Venezuela.
In 1991, I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts (Sport Journalist) from the Universidad del Zulia (LUZ). I came to the United States in 1996 to advance my degree in Journalism to pursue a Master Degree. While planning my way through school, I found a passion for teaching when I started substituting for a district here. Following my heart, I changed my curriculum from Journalism to Elementary Education. I attended Saint Thomas University to pursue a greater cause, structuring our youth for a better future. I have been a teacher for 9 years.
Five years ago my lifestyle changed. When I was visiting my family in Maracaibo, I was initiated to a new challenge: bodybuilding.
Since 2004 I started to walk a path filled with sacrifices as well as satisfactions. I know what it takes to be a winner, but I love every minute of it.
In 2008 I have received the most wonderful compliments and comments from peers, judges , and audience after a great accomplishments at the Pro natural level.
My life it is not about sacrifices not more, it is about accomplisments and have fun . I am very competitive, so you will never see me going anywhere just for the pleasure of travelling. " I AM A WINNER,  I AM A CHAMP " .

Status

Single, looking for training partner, looking to sponsors.

My Goals:
I want to improve and become a Pro in other major organizations in USA. In order to do that, I have to get muscular,but keeping my philosophy of natural competitor. I know is difficult, but I love the challenge.


What I love about competing is the fact that I enjoy every step of my preparation. I work on my posing everyday, I visualize my routines, I watch videos from other professionals bodybuilders, and I discuss new ideas with people that I know (for sure) are my friends at all times.
After three months of entire preparation, I won my first overall and competition ever in 2004. My trainer, Fedder Marquez, became a major instrument for my success.
I can't deny the fact that God has built many path for me. I have counted with tons of hands  that helped me to become who I am. Thanks to all of those that for good or bad have giving me the strenght to be a CHAMP.
