I'm 28 years old, born and raised in Boston, MA. I was born to Cape Verdean parents, that only know hard work. With that work ethic running through my genetics, I've been on a non-stop mission to be the Greatest Street Fighter Player on Earth, while elevating the people and players around me. With 13 years of experience, learning in communities as far as Japan, I am here to serve -you-. From the ranks of rookie, to WARLORDS, I've been able to help players of all skill levels. If it's the simple aspects of the game such as "How to use training mode", to masterful concepts like "Downloading your opponents", I will be able to convey abstract concepts to you in ways you may not have been mindful of. Be prepared to grow beyond your mental barriers and laugh a lot while doing it.
