"I believe in my Hispanic community. I believe in the millions who once emigrated to the United States for a better life. I admire those who arrived with nothing and now work, enjoy, and contribute over TWO BILLION dollars annually to the U.S. economy. From scientists, doctors, and child farmers who reached the moon to entrepreneurs and dishwashers – the everyday heroes."

Something Personal
Every human being, absolutely everyone, can achieve what they desire. The difference lies in each person's vision of who they want to be or believe they can be.
My commitment is to provide tools that are useful to you, tools that can help you reach where you've always wanted to be.
My vision is and will always be to excel in delivering excellent results in what I do, inspiring those around me to become better every day, as long as they want to.
As the slogan of my high school, Eduardo de la Barra, used to say: "Today better than yesterday, tomorrow better than today."
To Those I Admire To my mother and my uncles, life achievers. To five other people, I'll only mention in personal conversations while enjoying a Lavazza or Don Julio, 1800 Reposado, or a Long Island Iced Tea, or even a fine Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva Tarapacá.

With this in mind, and teaming up with another visionary, Nazifh Luna, we created a platform that has just been born: tueres.us.
It was announced by over 200 media outlets in the United States, including
