It's funny how the people you grow up with help to define who you become.
I was married at 18 and had my first son by 19. Work was scarce so I took up construction even though I had been trained in Graphic Design. I worked for the family masonry business for a few years. We slowly liquidated that and moved into property investments. I then found myself Managing a decorative concrete crew. But all the while, I studied design and development, primarily ruby and rails. I found encouragement from long time friends who had also gone into that field. Some of which had become quite successful.
I work with ruby, rails and others full time now. I wouldn't give it up for anything.

I enjoy music, art, good food. Of course i'll eat anything wrapped in a tortilla. I enjoy staying active. Biking or skating are my typical outlets.
