Brazilian by birth and Québécois by choice, Rod fell in love with Montréal the day he arrived to pursue a doctorate in music 15 years ago. An avid vinyl collector, he’s proud to call home the city that gave the world Leonard Cohen and Oscar Peterson. Keen on throwing parties, Rod enjoys mixing cocktails for friends while debating the finer differences between whiskies and whiskeys. When the weather cooperates, you’ll likely find him enjoying a waterside picnic or joining the Tam-Tams jams on sunny Sundays.
