About Me

Moved to Sao Paulo - Brasil (Feb 2007) living in the sun, lucky to have good friends, happy to have amazing kids.Divorced now on 10 years, Nick and Dan are my life (my sons), and now I am lucky enough to live where I have always had fun.I grew up in Sao Paulo, attended Chapel School (Escola Maria Immaculada) and lived for years in Miami. I lived, I loved, I grew.Brasil is a new chapter in life, and I am happy to be director for a new digital ad agency here. Its a global company so I get to travel as I oversee the Latin region.I like to listen to live music, and enjoy unfiltered sake.I miss my friends in Miami (yes already).

My Interests

I love good books, good wine and good whiskey (single malt). I work in advertising, so I am very open minded, as I like people who dance to their own drum beat. I enjoy movies, and I love to know what is going on in the world.

I want to meet fun, eclectic, open minded people that are good hearted and want to let me explore life by their side. I like relaxed people who are crazy, and who like to enjoy life.

Music:

Bossa Nova (from Bebel Gilberto to Tom Jobin), Samba, Pagode and Axe (the 2 latter I love after leaving Brasil). I like rock concerts (DMB, Pearl Jam) as well as electronica...VanDyke, Oakenfold, Dmitri, Jam and Spoon. I can sit with classical and make love to the 4 Seasons by Vivaldi (Spring is my favorite)
