Hello! It's nice to meet you.
Welcome to my website. Here you can get a sense of my work experience, family life, hobbies, thought leadership, and other interests. If you have questions or comments about something you see, please reach out! I'm always happy to make new connections and develop lasting relationships.
My faith is the most important thing to me. My #1 priority is faithfulness to God.
I believe God is my Father and I am his son. I also believe he loves me and is aware of everything I do and everything I desire. Jesus Christ is at the foundation of what I believe. I believe he created this world and came to this world to suffer and die for us. I believe he rose from the dead and lives today. I believe that because of him I can receive immortality and eternal life after this life. I believe the way to come unto Christ is by living his restored Gospel taught in the Bible, Book of Mormon, and modern-day prophets.
I believe what I believe because I've prayed to know what is true. I've felt the holy ghost testify in my heart and mind that there is life after this one, and if I live the gospel of Jesus Christ, I can live with my loved ones for eternity. This knowledge impacts my decisions every day. This is why you may see me drinking different things, listening to different music, or spending my time differently than anyone else. My objective in this life is to strive to become like Jesus Christ.
For 2 years, I taught the people of Buenos Aires West about Jesus Christ from the Bible and Book of Mormon. I love the Argentine people. I fell in love with Asado, mate, Castellano, river plate, and so many other things. I lived in Laferrere, La Tablada, Villa Caseros, and Mercedes. I had countless spiritual experiences and many opportunities to serve my neighbor.
My wife and I have 2 wonderful daughters. They are my joy and we have lots of adventures together.
Here are some experiences I've had with different clients in different sectors. Click to read more about each one.
