know that is not in your resume or application?

I truly believe that we must do everything we can to do
more of those things that we love, and that will give you
the possibility to “live a life you will remeber”.
Practicing sports is how I try to accomplish this life goal,
because it means to:
• Challenge myself to do something new.
• Set higher objectives to get out of my comfort zone.
• Develop new skills.
• Grow and adapt myself to new environments.
Live a Life you will Remember
IRONMAN
COZUMEL, MX - 2013
FUN FACT (I love oldies): this is an actual conversation between 2 of my friends and I
during our first marathon…
- Joe: I’m all motivated listening to “Prodigy” songs
- Manolo: Me too, listening to “Matchbox 20”
- Me: LET THE MUSIC PLAY!!! from Barry White

Sharing my Passion
…it’s something so big that it’s impossible to keep it just for me
I also have had the opportunity to live great experiences by sharing my
passion with my family and friends, and that made me strengthen skills like
teamwork, strategy, leadership, among others.
But the most important part of it, is the satisfaction of overcoming the
obstacles in team.
You can achieve more as a TEAM!

Go Beyond
…finding a purpose beyond your own needs
After running different races such as:
• 5k, 10k, 21k and 30k
• Marathons
• Olympic distance triathlon, IRONMAN 70.3 and IRONMAN
• Ultramarathons (50k, 63k, 268k)
…my wife and I talked about our next challenge, we thought about doing something different, we
were thinking about leaving something behind all those kms that we were going to run. So, after
talking to a good friend we put together a plan to raise funds on behalf a Foundation that benefits
students with a 2-year scholarship. With the help of my family, friends and people that joined the
cause, we raised enough to benefit 70 students.
We changed the medals for the SMILES  !
