Bio

Biografia

 

I was born on December 23, 1948, in
Salvador das Missões, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Grow up in a little
family farm, surrounded by grandparents, uncles and aunts. With the age of
twelve years, I go to a boarding school supported by the Catholic Church. There
I studied since 1961 until April 1965.

Work and Study: In May 1968, after the
mandatory army service, came to Paraná State, in Foz do Iguaçu City. There I worked at
a bank agency for two and half years. After this, per four years at an exportation
office. At the same time, I completed my gymnasium and three years of high
school. In December 1971, I received the title "Best Student from the curse
that ended". In January 1972, I attended the vestibular competition and was
approved in 4th place among 150 candidates.

Graduation: Since 1972 until December
1975 I attended my University graduation in Mathematics. In the period since
1976, until 1986 I taught Mathematics and Physics in public and private
schools in Curitiba, Paraná State.

Relocation: In 1987 I
relocated me with my family to Brasnorte, in the Mato Grosso State. There I
taught at the local public school. Since 1988 until the end of 1989 I was
director of this school. In 1993, we returned to Curitiba, where we still have our
house.

December 1994 I submit at
public tender and get first place. At February 1995 I assumed like physics
teacher in the public school named CEFET-PR. Since July 1997 until December
2003, I occupied the function like chief of Laboratories in the Physics
department of the school, today named UTF PR. On December 17, 2003, I retired me
from work. Since this time I have made several hobbies and works. In 2012, I
started writing tales and affair books. Until today, I have published 11(eleven)
books.

In 2014, I started a Blog
with the blogspot.com platform. Later, in 2015, I migrate to wordpress.com. I
have published many posts between mathematics, physics and literary texts.
Students from Angola and Mozambique have resorted to me in his difficulty. I
could help them in all his troubles. At this moment I have 5(five) books to
publish. I've to write any pages to complete the last one.
