Bio:

I have been with CDc for 7 year. My one piece of jewlery is a silver bau my mom found in New York. I got it in 2003 and it hasn’t come off since. I have a large bau tattoo that takes up most of the right side of my abdomen. Its an indication of how important a lifetime as a Capoeira is to me. I’m not gonna try and say anything clever or profound… Capoeira defies description. It is my life. I’ll be happy if i can ginga on the morning i die.
