Biography

My name is Cristiano Gouveia, and I was born on May 19, 1990, in Lisbon, Portugal. I’ve always looked up to my mom and dad as my biggest and only heroes, and I’m incredibly grateful for the unwavering support of my wonderful and lovely wife. Coming from a background where finances were tight, I completed only the minimum mandatory education before I started working at a young age. The hospitality sector, especially food and beverage, has been my passion, even though I tried my hand at a few other areas where I didn’t quite felt apprecciated. Life has thrown me some curveballs, like my parent’s divorce when I was 16, which pushed me to quit school and enter the workforce. I’ve also experienced profound joys, such as the birth of my daughter on February 18, 2010, and marrying my wife on May 30, 2021. In my free time, I enjoy watching films, taking long walks with my two dogs, and dining out with friends.
