About

Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, I was always an aficionado for sports from age 8 on. When I was in high school, due to the incessant pestering of my portuguese (the language us Brazilians speak) teacher and of the school's literature teacher, i started writing for the school's student magazine mostly about soccer. But, even though my writing was mostly about soccer, I was always an avid follower of the NHL and the NFL. Now, I dedicate my time exclusively to following the NHL and soccer with the occasional dose of football this year because the Colts suck mixed in with a shot of baseball because I'm a Red Sox fanatic.
