Spanish born, Eduardo
moved to Venezuela in 1982 where his mother "Maleles" is partner with Umberto
Costanzo in Venezuela’s largest and most successful sailing
school. Umberto has been Eduardo's sailing coach since 1984. Eduardo
worked for the school until 2004. After winning his 8th Sunfish
World Championship, Eduardo decided to pursue residency in the
United States where he could give back to the sport. In under 150
days Eduardo was granted permanent residency, an unprecedented
achievement, under the US “extraordinary abilities and athletic
talents,’” application used for immigration “fast track” for those
with special talents to offer the United States population.
