*1 Before LINDSEY, GORDO and LOBREE, JJ.

GORDO, J.

Oscar Arano (“Arano”), pro se, appeals a final judgment entered after a bench trial in favor of Vive Financial, LLC f/k/a HC Processing Center (“Vive”). We have jurisdiction. Fla. R. App. P. 9.030(b)(1)(A). Arano challenges the final judgment on several grounds. Because we lack a transcript of the bench trial that preceded the final judgment, however, we are unable to evaluate Arano’s claims of error. Thus, we are compelled to affirm. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (“In appellate proceedings the decision of a trial court has the presumption of correctness and the burden is on the appellant to demonstrate error . . . When there are issues of fact the appellant necessarily asks the reviewing court to draw conclusions about the evidence. Without a record of the trial proceedings, the appellate court can not properly resolve the underlying factual issues so as to conclude that the trial court’s judgment is not supported by the evidence or by an alternative theory. Without knowing the factual context, neither can an appellate court reasonably conclude that the trial judge so misconceived the law as to require reversal.”).

Affirmed.
