EDMUNDO DANGLA

Edmundo was born and raised in the small coastal town of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua to a family of artisanal fishermen, where he helped his family with the logistical distribution of their catch to restaurants in the resort areas of the country.

Discovering a passion for surfing at a young age, Edmundo won the very first competition he entered. As a teenager, he started to develop his entrepreneurial spirit by opening a surf/skate shop and a tapas bar. He then decided to study business and earned an international business degree at Mass Bay College in the United States, where he took his knowledge to work in industrial sales and logistics for several years before joining the Metallix Team.

In his personal life, Edmundo is an avid adventurer. He has hiked volcanoes in his home country and several challenging peaks of the Appalachian Mountains. He loves to run, kayak, practice yoga, MMA, and jiujitsu. He shares his life with Adriana, Jacob, and their chocolate lab Luna. They can be found exploring the east coast, beaches of North Carolina, and adventure destinations abroad. A “foodie”, Edmundo loves to discover culture through cuisineand loves to cook elaborate meals for his family and friends. Early in the morning and at dusk, you can find Edmundo chasing sunrises/sunsets and basking in the beautiful serenity of the moment.
