Just a little about me. I was born in Guatemala and raised in the United States since the age of three. When I started boxing at 12 years old, it was a way to build my self-confidence and defend myself against the much bigger kids at school. 

Realizing that God had given me a talent, boxing became a passion and a way of life for me.  My dream was to become a champion. Though a very elusive dream, I captured it in 2002 through many long years of hard work, dedication, determination and political nuances in the sport, becoming the North American Boxing Federation (N.A.B.F.) Champion of my weight division.  At the time of my retirement a few years ago, I was still the champ ranked at number three in the world and was the number one contender in my weight class.

I have started my own business, which I have named Pound-4-Pound Fitness.  I give personal boxing sessions in West Houston, to everyone at any fitness level.  My sessions will put you in the best physical shape ever.  It is like no other!  

On a more personal level, I have been married for 12 years to my consummate wife Yvonne with three beautiful little girls.  I work full-time, I am a daddy full-time, and an X-box player part-time!  My new dream is to train children to instill confidence and courage so that they too can reach their full potential and dreams.
