Pipico began his career as a youth player for Itaperuna, where he played for six months, before moving to Angra do Reis, America and Bahia, when Pipico started his professional career. After this, Pipico played for Floresta, Cabofriense, Bangu and Macaé, always having passages of great prominence, especially in Campeonato Carioca. In 2012, after one and a half year of interest and negotiations, Pipico made a move to Vasco da Gama to play Brazilian Série A, but wasn't very successful.
