Overview
About Me
Now Living in Madrid - Spain
First of all, I must say I’m a mix between a black sheep and a chameleon. A black sheep with honor and values and a chameleon to adapt and adopt. Always thinking appearances deceive so I don’t like prejudge but I like observe and learn, but trying don’t be a flock sheep ;)
I like think and doing Business, nature, cook,, pick mushrooms, bike, swim, dream the future, listen, change. And a few things more.
Actually, I have a mon-fri IT job, working as Enterprise Architect and IT Solutions Architect which I love although sometimes they don’t listen ehehe
I like to learn always new things. That is my fuel. Not only about Business and IT ehehe.
I am professional open-mind ;) and i living always in a entrepeneur life.
I have friends in Mexico, China, Phillipines, France, UK, Brazil and Spain. I like to have more friends from differents countries.
Little by little i go to edit and full fill my profile. Now a few things about me please read below if you have more curiosity about me

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the thing when I learned more was when I did volunteer for Homeless people on Sundays in Madrid, offering them a coffee and a conversation.
- I built several business most of them works very well but doesn’t grow as escalation is the real Business challenge and due I was jumped to another better business each time ;)
When i am child:
- Be a Delivery Boy. I mean making different family tasks, that was my best work experience ever ;), managing times, budget, learning negotiate skills, …
- multiple child adventures ehehe but one of them I let off free a bird in a subway station ;) when show it my neighbour! This bird i catched in the morning when it touch my window amazing! When child always i dreaming to catch birds in street and sometimes i get it. And later i like to let off free, always. But this chance it come to my window , with this I learnt chances always come but you must be prepared and ready to act and catch it
When i am young:
- 2 Interrails europe travels in my back with my 4 teammates that time. First 2 and half months and second 1 month. So Amazing and incredible!
- Travel and living in Phillipines. It was a wonderful experience.
- I built the 7th world coworking space called Garage30 in 2004 in Madrid. So i was bankrupt with this because i was so pioneer and this moment the people didn't think in different ways yet... (now yes), you know to collaborate with others, to share efforts.... But im happy to get expand the movement in Spain (trying 3 business models: 1- Own spaces, 2 - Third part spaces with emtpy real states owners, and 3- companies free space to share) and i learn a lot of things in the way. Coworking is a movement with similar things with couchsurfing but to work in shared offices and mainly to share knowledges & efforts with others. Sure you know it. It is deployed in all countries now.
When i am old: ... (not yet ;) )
