NICKNAME: Picholeiro
MUSIC: I can digest everything, but not very much of a music fan.
FAVORITE FOOD:

Everything that makes me fatter seems ok to me ;-)
HOW YOU RELAX: Like computers, cinema and investing and studying financial markets.
HOW YOU PREPARE
FOR AN EVENT:		 Try to train a lot, rest as much as possible and eat very little… I am not a a easy to stress person so I like the keep it simple and relaxed approach much more than the obsessions in something.

WHAT'S IN YOUR TRANSITION
BAG YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT:		 My computer
WHERE YOU SEE
YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS:		 No idea, but I will try to win as much as possible to not have a need to work any more. Maybe ISM can help me on this matter ;-) Anyway if this is not possible, working on anything related with financial markets is ok for me.
YOUR WEBSITE: No web site sorry… not geek enough for that

ABOUT “YOU”

Not easy to describe myself … I am not the typical cyclist. Have a degree in business admin and also worked some time for a broker so I am quite a rare phenomenon. Anyway I think what I do best is that I work really hard to get what I think I can do and never look back or stop on my way to what I am trying to get. I also consider myself a very humble person. I hate those that when they are at the top forget they were also at the bottom… the fall is always harder when phones stop ringing after sometime.
