I was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico and grew up in two divergent cities, Santa Fe and Española. My descendants settled in the Española Valley in the fifteenth century when Don Juan de Oñate y Salazar entered the beautiful Española Valley. It was as beautiful as a Spanish girl, Española. A unique culture evolved, Spaniard and Native American, and the slow, often confrontational, assimilation with the Europeans from the east coast. My broad-based life experiences and education have provided me a unique perspective on the human condition.

 

I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration from the College of Santa Fe (Summa Cum Laude), Bachelor of Criminology from the University of Albuquerque (Summa Cum Laude), and my Master of Business Administration from the University of New Mexico (Summa Cum Laude) earning membership into Beta Gamma Sigma in Recognition for high Scholastic Achievement. In addition, I completed an Executive Leadership Program at Duke University and earned my Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma from Villanova University. I served as a Non-Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Marine Corps and as a Commissioned Officer in the U.S Air Force.

 

Subconsciously I have been writing my entire life just like you have.
