About Me
My journey has been a diverse and exciting one, shaped by a passion for music, a love for entrepreneurship, and the joys of fatherhood. As a single father of two, I've learned the importance of dedication, resilience, and pursuing one's passions.
For decades, music was a central part of my life. I had the incredible opportunity to work as a waiter/musician in Tokyo, Japan (2000-2004), perform as a bassist at the Baisan Hotel in Manama, Bahrain, with comedian Gladys Guevarra (2008-2009), and play bass on the Seabourn Quest Cruise Ship (2011). These experiences allowed me to explore the world, connect with diverse audiences, and hone my craft.
In recent years, I decided to retire from my music career to pursue my entrepreneurial aspirations. This led me to proudly establish and own several businesses:
Bike Statement Bicycle Couturier: A testament to my passion for cycling, this venture allows me to combine creativity and craftsmanship.
REDUC Upcycled Tires and Innertubes: This business reflects my commitment to sustainability and finding innovative ways to repurpose materials.
NEO ICE ID: This venture showcases my focus on practical solutions and identifying a need and fulfilling it.
Beer Belly Bar Mandaluyong: I am also part owner of this establishment.
Now, I'm enjoying a new chapter in my life, combining my love for cycling with competitive racing and leisurely bike touring. This allows me to stay active, explore new places, and connect with the cycling community.
My background as a musician has instilled in me a strong work ethic, the ability to adapt to new environments, and a passion for connecting with people. These skills, combined with my entrepreneurial drive, have been instrumental in my business ventures. I am excited to continue growing as an entrepreneur, embracing new challenges, and making a positive impact.
