i am a mexican, born in the french hospital in chinatown, los angeles, ca.

i have lived in corona del mar, santa barbara, and san francisco, travel the world for pleasure and business (most recently to Honduras, Mexico, Singapore and Thailand), but LA is home because it is where my family and long-time friends live.

i come from a large family (5 siblings and 13 nieces and nephew). i love them dearly and keep them close to my heart, even though they are 500 miles away.

i have a loads of amigos; spanning tribes from southern california to countries abroad. they are diverse and quirky, but most of all they are good people.

i am passionate explorer who loves live music, cooking, reading, writing, great conversations, good wine and great food.

i stay active by hitting the gym 5 days a week, playing basketball on saturday and biking on sunday. i also enjoy skiing and hiking.

i find happiness in new experiences, new places, surrounding myself with people who love life, see cultural events and who celebrate who they are.

this is who i am ...
