About Me: I am a full time dad, who works part time as environmental planning consultant and certified electrician.  As a planner I like to pay attention to details, so I know what to expect, how to deal with unexpected events, and therefore get the most out of our vacation dollar.  With this approach, I have had the opportunity to polish my researching skills.  Besides reading lots about Disney, I always try to get as much information from friends, family, and strangers who have visited Disney recently, to take as many points of view as possible.  In my personal time I enjoy listening to classical/jazz LPs, attending Broadway Musical, going to sporting events - especially soccer - and cooking healthy, savory dishes.  I love tasting food from around the world!

About My Family: I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, one of four sons, - all soccer players!  I come from a large family with wonderful parents, grandparents, uncle, and aunts.  Family values and tradition have always been important to me.  Life honored me by meeting my wife, a Pharmaceutical Industry Scientist and Project Manager, who could have been a professional singer if she pursued it.  We got married three years after crossing roads at grad school.  Another three years later, our son (now 8 years old) arrived in our lives, followed by our daughter 21 months later!  Our kids are active as they come - no nap time here! - and enjoy having breakfast with Disney characters, anything related to Star Wars, themed pools and most of all, thrill rides.

About My Disney Experience: I visited Disney with my parents, brothers and  grandmothers during my childhood.  Now I get to plan and design these experiences to share with my wife and kids.  It was during the planning of our first Disney vacation that I was amazed with all the info available to design a vacation for any family´s taste and budget.  Also, during this first vacation, I came to appreciate the type of family experience that only Disney can offer, design for fun and relaxation!  Since good food is a big part of my family´s vacation, we have come to love character and signature dinning.  I enjoy experiencing what Disney offers that is not available anywhere else, and look forward to helping you discover it with your family!
