The Long Awaited Introduction

Hello, my fellow gentlemen!

I’m, if not the last, among the last ones to make an introduction.

But as a wise old man once said…

A wizard is never late,

nor is he early.

He arrives precisely when he means to!

I’m David. I’m 29, a man born and raised in Spain, currently living in Asturias—Northern Spain and the home of the Reconquista.

Both of my surnames are of Norman ancestry (in Spain we have two, one from each parent) and come from the countries where my family lived centuries ago—England and Italy, from Norman settlements in the UK and Sicily. My main surname arrived in Spain when a family of Norman knights, serving Leonor of Plantagenet, sister of King Richard the Lionheart, came to Spain for her marriage to the King of Castile. They escorted her and were granted lands in the north—the very region where I live today. I also have relatives in South Dakota, where part of my family has been settled for generations after emigrating from Germany, Norway, and Scotland.

Since I was a kid, I’ve always admired the way highly educated British gentlemen dress—what I like to call the Savile Row aesthetic. For me, it all began with Bond (Brosnan and, more precisely, Craig—the ones I grew up with, though now I prefer Connery and Lazenby). Later, David Gandy and Henry Cavill became references as well, and the way Guy Ritchie dresses his characters has also influenced how I approach style. Finally, Christian Bale’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne was life-changing for me—not only because of his wardrobe but also because of his morals, values, and what he represents: that we can become better, no matter our circumstances.

Now I feel more attracted to the Ivy League + Wall Street aesthetic of 1% Americans from the North East. I believe it perfectly mix the taste of the British dressing code with the more colorful, ruthless and ambitious spirit of the American man.

Regarding my personal life, I’m a 6’2”–6’3” athletic man who loves to train, eat well, and have deep conversations. My sports background includes judo in early childhood, as well as basketball and cycling, a bit of soccer and later rugby—the sport I enjoyed the most. In my teens, I became passionate about classic bodybuilding figures such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Reeves, and Reg Park, and I nearly dedicated myself to that lifestyle. My approach to bodybuilding stemmed not only from the discipline it requires but also from its artistic side. I saw the sculpting of the body as another form of art. Sadly, I think the aesthetic principles have been lost nowadays, with muscular size being the only focus on stage.

I also love history—both European and American—as well as politics, business, economics, and everything related to entrepreneurship.

I currently work by my own managing the training, nutrition and life habits of my clients, that ten to be men in their 30+.

Additionally, I’m a member of an online business school with campuses that cover a range of topics—from AI automation to sales training and business management. My next step is to earn enough money to rely solely on an online business and eventually move to Switzerland, Dubai, or Saudi Arabia to expand my network and build enough capital to apply for a U.S. business visa and eventually get the U.S citizenship. That being said, I could skip that step and go directly for the U.S Business visa.

I’m actually building my online business as my face to fitness works great.

I want to make it online to simplify my move to America in the future, and as 30+ Americans are among the unhealthy people of the West those are lives I want to improve.

Health Secretary RFK is doing a good job but there’s a lot of stuff to do to heal and improve Americans.

I plan to take a two-week trip to the U.S. on 2026—probably between summer and winter—to become more familiar with the culture and to help my partner feel more comfortable when we eventually move there. Also there are friends and family I want to meet with.

Sincerely yours.

David.
