As a kid i was a big fan of skateboarding and BMX. Building my own BMX with the best components on the market, when I was 14 years old.
While I was studying, I started designing and building custom windsurfing boards and carbon fiber parts for motorcycles.
In 1999 I create my own workshop starting building composite parts for racing sailing boats and superbikes.
In 2001 I open a shipyard to build offshore racing sailing yachts and spars, building more than 30 boats and manufacturing prepreg carbon parts for America´s cup, winning 2 World championships and 3 European championships in ORC IMS 670 class. And building parts for Superbikes and Paris-Dakar motorcycles.
I have also designed composite prototypes and composites process systems for different sectors ( superyachts, oil and gas pipeline industry, nuclear industry, …).
In 2014 I create Smevf as a division of Aeronavcom(Aeronaval de Composites,sl.) to implement composites to electric mobility, testing a lot of prototypes and testing in laboratory.
I have designed and built 3 electric motorcycles Rottwellmeyer Otto light, Rottwellmeyer Otto and BE SUV scooter. And 5 Surfscooty models.
I continue to train operators and technicians in composite systems and processes and leading the company Aeronavcom, composites engineering.
