Born in Mexico, I moved to Tucson in 1976 when I was 10 years old. I attended the University of Arizona where I met my wife of 30 years (Adriana). I graduated with a BS in Business Administration and successfully completed the Entrepreneurship program. A few years after I obtained a Master of Arts in Business Management.

My professional career has included nearly 30 years in medical sales with Fortune 500 companies. I have worked for Pfizer, Boston Scientific, and Bristol Meyers Squibb. Most recently I have transitioned out of the corporate world and full time into entrepreneurship and private business. I took a position as VP of Business Development with TR Realty & Investments, a company my wife and I started in 2008 specializing in Brokerage, Property Management, and Development.  In addition, ever the entrepreneur, I own a staffing agency which provides contingency staff to healthcare facilities which I started in 2016.

My wife and I have been very involved with non-profits in our community with various organizations serving the needs of children. I am a past board member with Boys-n-Girls Clubs, past volunteer with Tu Nidito services for children, and past President for the Tucson Conquistadores.

I am a proud Tucsonan and engaged stakeholder in our community, dedicated towards preserving and enhancing the quality of life in our great City.
