Bio: I was born in Mexico city, at the age of 13 I started riding mountain bikes with my friends. At the age of 16, I switched from mountain biking to road racing. The local club invited me to a race where I decided to participate and lucky me I got seem by a sponsor (the Mexican (IMSS) junior team). I raced for them for two years. Later on, on 1998, I stopped riding when I went back to school. Finally on 2005, I started racing again doing local criteriums in California until this year 2010.
