Why IDoThis
Football Is Part of Me
I was born in Venezuela and raised between multiple cultures, which has given me a unique international perspective on football and player representation.
Football has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My grandfather's passion for Racing Santander introduced me to the beauty of the game and the opportunities it can create. From an early age, I realized that football is more than a sport—it is a platform that brings people together, opens doors, and changes lives.

After moving to the United States at the age of 15, I earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Florida State University and an MBA from the University of Florida. I spent seven years in the corporate world before becoming an entrepreneur, where I built and operated multiple businesses while advising organizations on growth, acquisitions, and strategic development.
Today, I combine my international background, business experience, and lifelong passion for football to help players build meaningful careers and create opportunities both on and off the pitch.
