About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get as many life changing experiences as I can, pushing myself out of my comfort zone (it is hard, though), all this to prepare myself to make a difference in the World when the opportunity arrives!

ABOUT ME

Not long ago, I came to the US from my beloved Canary Islands, Spain on a mission: understand and bring back for my government the fantastic start-up know-how of America. Fast forward and I am an industrial designer turned technology consultant, turned intra-preneur and start up adviser... Above all, I am an incurable case of wanderlust...

Folks usually describe me as open minded, polite/kind, hopelessly optimistic and fun. A learning enthusiast, I love life on planet Earth and can't have enough of it. I enjoy meeting new people with different perspectives about life -the weirder the better. I work hard and play hard (such a cliche, I know...).

Fulfilling my potential as a son, brother, friend, and, someday, as a parent, makes me want to find new ways to learn and grow. I am hungry for experiences and traveling gives plenty.

This is my mission in life which I think is self-explanatory:

I want to get together a group of crazy/forward-thinking/brilliant people, and find out how can we make a difference. I want to start an organization, a company, a revolution... I really don´t have a clue about what or how but I won´t rest in peace until I help create something that makes a difference.

I have always wished to come to the US because there is something about this country. It is called the land of opportunity and I am after a big one...

PHILOSOPHY

Stay hungry, stay foolish, never settle. Go passionately after your dreams. Get as many life changing experiences as you can, pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Be open to new ideas but also to the old ones (listen to your grandparents!). Life is so beautiful but above all...so EXCITING!!!! There are infinite opportunities around us all the time; we just need to increase our awareness and be creative to connect the dots. Practice law of attraction => change the World.
