I was born in Lima-Peru and since I was 24 years old I lived in Huacachina-Ica, a small Oasis in the desert where I experienced the sport that changed my life (sandboarding) and where I met my wife (2009) with whom I have 2 children.

Since 2015 I live in Switzerland, also in a small town called Eichenwies which is part of the beautiful valley of the Rheintal (Canton of Saint Galen).

My official job in Switzerland is hausman, something that the Swiss system places a lot of value on, but I also dedicate part of my free time to being a consultant for companies involved in snowboarding, skiing or also in the Latin American field for culture, commerce and tourism.
