Pilot by land, sea, and air.

I dedicated my life to learn everything that has motivated me. For me, the motor world has always been my greatest passion. Initially, from the age of 12, I started in the nautical sector professionally helping in a sailing school as an instructor. While I was growing, the opportunities to continue working and learning increased, and I continued into the world of cars and motorcycles at the age of 18. I participated in all kind of events of the sector, while continuing learning and working with the leading driving schools for major motor companies and derivative brands such as tire companies. In all of them, I worked as a driving instructor, vehicle tester, and safety consultant for the government and the principal Spain’s Special Forces in some Defense Companies.

Thanks to this work, I have been able to combine what I like the most and working at a higher level. I have dedicated my study to become a Commercial Transport Pilot. But nothing can stop me from continuing studying or training, so I joined an aerobatic flight team to continue learning and seeking to improve professionally and personally.

All my experience since I was a child, and everything I’ve been working on since then, has been devoted to teaching. I love teaching and transmitting my knowledge, even if it’s a few. I´m always looking for new challenges to be able to continue learning and developing my professional career in Aeronautics. At the moment I work as a firefighter pilot in Plysa, from Air Nostrum Group.

If you got to read all above, I have only one more thing to say. The most important thing for me without a doubt, is to be able to continue learning and to become a better person and professional pilot. So thank you for taking your time reading this and I’ll be glad to hear about you!!
