My Story
I was born in the city of ConcepciĂłn, Chile, and grew up in a family where basketball was part of everyday life. My older brothers played, and from a young age the sport surrounded me: the ball, the court, and the daily rhythm of training were always present.
At 14, I was recruited by Club Petrox Chile. Looking back, it marked the beginning of a journey that allowed me to grow as a player, coach, and mentor. Since then, basketball has been the foundation of my personal and professional development.
Over time, my experience as a player naturally evolved into a passion for coaching, leadership, and long-term athlete development, always with a strong focus on the formative process.

IBT Camps Begin in Orlando
Although the IBT (International Basketball Training) camp already existed in Florida, 2018 marked the first time I led a group of Chilean players to take part in this international experience. Since then, I have continued to lead this initiative year after year, providing young talents with the opportunity to train with American coaches, compete internationally, visit universities, and broaden their basketball perspective. This program has become an active bridge between Chile and the United States, opening new opportunities for both athletic and personal development.
