At 27, he played as a goalkeeper. His beginnings were in Democrata, a team of Sete Lagoas and he spent mostly his career in minor teams in Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro as Resende and Portuguese-RJ. He had arrived in Palmas in 2021.

Marcus molinari

In 2020 he ran to be deputy mayor of Palmas, but had to withdraw from the electoral race due to old judicial problems that he had in Goiânia.
