RADIO JOURNEY

His Radio journey began the following year (1999) after he completed his honors degree. Becoming a Radio news Presenter was his childhood dream.

From 2003 - 2005, he presented the drive show in the afternoon between 15h00 and 18h00, during weekdays.

It was in 2005, when his childhood dream of becoming a news Reader, became a reality. He moved back to newsroom, where he became the news Presenter until to date.
