Biography

I grew up in Torreón, Coahuila Mexico. I was a student for a few years in the USA during middle and high school to learn better English. I also attended the University of Texas in San Antonio for 2 years. Today I go back and forth from Piedras Negras where I have my business, to my house in San Antonio. In between I try to do as much fishing and gardening as I can.
