About
I'm passionate about connecting with people to work toward a better tomorrow.
I enjoy connecting with brilliant people who wish to make a difference in the world. Data science and analysis offer a vehicle through which I can help people understand their world, their business and decisions that will affect their bottom line. My goal is to drive humble growth in the world, one person at a time.
Mexican American. Raised by parents who pursued a better life through entrepreneurship. I'm a simple guy. I love engaging in stimulating conversation. Puzzles make my world go round. Solving problems that haven't been solved (or more effectively) give me all the satisfaction I need to keep my small ego quiet while remaining competitive.
In my personal life, as long as my wife, family, friends and dogs are great - I am great.
