I started my career back in Portugal and for the past eleven years I have dedicated myself to become a better professional bartender. I went to Hotel and tourism school for three years, and since then I have worked in everything from night clubs and beach resorts to five star hotels and high end cocktail bars. I have made my mark in several international cocktail competitions and have a great passion for the industry. Today I work as project leader at Behind Bars and our goal is to create better and more sustainable businesses.
