I was born in Ensenada, in the same area once occupied by the houses in Playitas, which now hosts the Hotel Coral & Marina. From an early age, I had the privilege of having the sea as a constant companion. It was while diving into the cool waters of the Pacific that my unwavering passion for the ocean was born.

Guided by the example of my parents, I later discovered my burning passion for triathlons, a passion that soon drew me into a universe of challenging sports and long-distance journeys. Among my most notable achievements is finishing in the Top 10 at the IRONMAN 70.3 National Age Group Championship in Cozumel in 2013. In 2015, I was paralyzed with excitement on the global stage, competing in the Age Group World Championship in Chicago. Equally notable was my Top 10 finish at the national amateur triathlon championship in Xel-Ha.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of standing on numerous podiums in both local and national circuits. My life took an unexpected turn in early 2017 when I faced the little-understood illness "Guillain-Barré Syndrome." Although I am still on my path to full recovery, this challenge has motivated me even more to overcome my limitations. However, 2018 also brought an accident that temporarily immobilized me. These pivotal moments of overcoming adversity will be explored in greater depth in the project "SoulBreaker," where I will delve into my journey.

Currently, my collaboration with Baja Man has expanded my horizons, exposing me to new paths and challenges. Each day is an opportunity to discover new places, unearth hidden strengths, and push my body to the limit in the relentless pursuit of my capabilities.

Baja Pro Tip:
“Do more with less.” Maximize your current resources, whether it's time, motivation, or material possessions. By taking the first step, you'll notice how opportunities begin to grow. If something doesn't contribute positively, it probably was never essential in the first place.
