I was born in Venezuela, and then I moved to Panama in 2014, to Suriname in 2018 and to Colombia in 2021. Here in Colombia I live in the beautiful valley of Medellin, in La Cordillera de Los Andes. I live 1500 meters above sea level, and am surrounded by mountains up to 3300 meters above sea level!
I started running seriously in 2008, but ever since I was a kid I was a sports guy. In 2009 I did my first ultra in Venezuela–of course, I didn’t finish it, because I didn’t train at all, haha. Since then, I’ve run more than 35 ultramarathons from 50k to 170 in many countries around the world.
I have plenty of them! In Venezuela, where I’m from, I love El Cerro del Hotel Maracay–it’s an uphill trail, and at the top you can see the whole city. In Panama? The Cocoa Plantation, a 14k jungle trail with lots of monkeys…and in Surinam, the Berlin route!

During the pandemic, some of my friends who were ultrarunning coaches encouraged me to become a coach. So, I completed a degree to become an ultrarunning coach and personal trainer with a major in running. Actually, my career before coaching is that I am an agricultural engineer.
Working together to build your consistency is the key to reaching your goals! I will be here to keep you motivated, accountable and above all, to get into the habit of consistency so that you can finish your races smiling! I also just completed a degree in sports psychology, which I did so that I can help you prepare for your goals beyond just the physical training part–in an even more holistic way.
Plus, when you’re training for an ultramarathon, there’s way more to think about where you need help from a coach to prepare every aspect. Together, you’ll learn how to manage your race (what to eat, what to drink, what to carry with you) during the race, and most importantly how to up your mental game!
