Merchant living in Macao in the first half of the 17th century, he was Clerk in Santa Casa da Misericórdia in 1616. He is referred to in the inhabitants' list of Macao ("Lista De La gente Efetiua que Ay Em esta Ciudade Assy, Vizinos Como estrauagantes forasteros E gente De lla tierra") of 1625 as being married and resident in the parish of Sé. In the same year, he supported the Society of Jesus in the dispute between the Bishopric of China and Friar António do Rosário.
