I was born and raised in Lima, Peru and moved to California in 1996. I learned early on how to cook in a restaurant, and I loved it, but I decided to try other things. I worked in a grocery store, warehouse, as a security officer and now the automotive business. I have been in the automotive industry for 23 years now. Outside of work, I enjoy practicing mixed martial arts. I am a 3-time black belt. I would like to say that I am a hardworking man, a team player, a volunteer, an all-around Catholic, who loves cars and food!
