I was born in Mercedes, Texas but raised in Irapuato, (Guanajuato) Mexico, where I studied and obtained my bachelor's degree at the University of Guanajuato, in Agronomy and Plant Breeding.

I continued his studies at the University of California, Davis where in 1986 I obtained a master's degree in plant pathology.

I started my working life at Heinz Seed in Stockon, California where I was involved in the whole research of processing tomato. My responsibilities and work activities were in the areas of pathology, plant breeding and molecular biology. I stayed with Heinz Seed until 2002.

After a brief period of agro-consulting activity, I joined United Genetics as plant breeder to take over the processing tomato breeding activity.
