Diego, 26, was raised in Ciudad Quesada, a rural town located next to a National Park and studied Tropical Biology at the Univ. of Costa Rica. “My backyard was full of birds, bugs and even snakes,” he says. “As a kid I observed all these creatures with interest and developed a love of the outdoors and the wildlife of Costa Rica.”
Diego began guiding Costa Rica Expeditions’ Multisport and Naturalist trips in Sept. 2006. He is an avid mountain biker and after a decade with his home town’s swim team he swam for the National Team for two years. Diego spent a year in Belgium as a high school exchange student and later worked in Florida for six months in 2003.
Recently Diego began a Masters Degree correspondence program in Wildlife Management at the State University. When he's not guiding, Diego likes to read, bike and spend time with his girlfriend and his family. His birthday is Nov. 3, 1981.
