Hay decisiones que cambian el rumbo de una vida sin que uno lo imagine. Para mí, una de ellas fue haber conocido el voleibol. Lo que comenzó como un deporte terminó convirtiéndose en mi refugio, mi escuela y una de las mayores razones de mis alegrías.

He vivido cada etapa de este camino: jugador, director y ahora árbitro. Gracias al voleibol he conocido nuevos lugares, personas extraordinarias, el amor y amistades que llevaré siempre conmigo. También he enfrentado sacrificios, tristezas y decepciones, pero cada una de esas experiencias me ha hecho más fuerte y me ha recordado por qué nunca dejé de creer.

Hoy puedo decir con mucho orgullo que alcancé una meta muy importante para mí y para mi país: ser el PRIMER ÁRBITRO CONTINENTAL DE VOLEIBOL DE PLAYA DE PANAMÁ 🤩🇵🇦.

Quiero expresar un agradecimiento muy especial a mis compañeros del curso. Compartir este proceso con ustedes hizo que cada aprendizaje y cada reto fueran aún más valiosos. Gracias por el compañerismo, el apoyo y los momentos vividos.

De igual manera, mi más sincero agradecimiento a los instructores y encargados del curso por compartir sus conocimientos, exigir siempre lo mejor de nosotros y contribuir a nuestra formación. Su compromiso y dedicación dejaron una huella en cada uno de los que tuvimos el privilegio de aprender de ustedes.

Este logro no es el final del camino, sino el inicio de nuevos sueños y mayores responsabilidades. Espero que también sirva de inspiración para quienes vienen detrás, demostrando que con trabajo, perseverancia y pasión, los sueños sí se cumplen.

Solo me queda agradecer a todas las personas que han formado parte de mi historia y que, de una u otra manera, han aportado a este recorrido. Gracias por creer, apoyar y acompañarme.

Tengo la certeza de que cosas aún más grandes vendrán para Panamá. 🇵🇦❤️

This journey has been one of resilience, growth, and purpose. Since transitioning into volleyball in 2018, I’ve had the privilege of representing St. Kitts and Nevis in both indoor and beach volleyball, experiencing the highs, challenges, and everything in between.

A special milestone came in May 2026, when I captured my first ECVA Senior Beach Volleyball Championship gold medal alongside Julian Bristol, finishing undefeated. This achievement represents every challenge overcome, every setback endured, and my commitment to keep pushing forward. This journey has tested me, shaped me, and strengthened my love for the game.

We often use the term “bragging rights” loosely, but this moment represents so much more than that. It reflects years of sacrifice, commitment, and hard work that this organization has invested in the sport. I’m honored to be an ambassador for that work, and I will forever be grateful and indebted to the organization.

Special thanks to the late Steadroy “Tish” Techeria, who encouraged me to try volleyball, and to the continued guidance and mentorship of St. Kitts Amateur Volleyball Association (SKAVA), Shawn Seabrookes, St. Clair Hodge, and Coach Richard Swan. Your support and belief have played a major role in my journey.

Thank you to everyone who has supported along the way. I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue representing St. Kitts and Nevis and helping grow the sport I love.

Happy World Volleyball Day! 🏐❤️🇰🇳
