I was born and raised in Mexicali, Mexico. As a child I was very interested in animals. I went to Veterinary School in Mexico and completed my DVM at The University of Baja California. I completed a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery. I am married to my beautiful wife Rita and have two daughters and three grandchildren. I have one adopted chihuahua, Coco. In my free time I love vacationing at the beach with my family.
