Brief Bio
I was born in Monterrey, N.L. México on 17 July, 1963. I graduated in 1985 from the Nuevo Leon Autonomous University. I worked several years in Monterrey, mainly as software developer for electronic control systems for VITRO processes. I married Martha in 1989. In December 1990 I resigned to my job in VITRO to continue my studies in The Netherlands, then, Martha and I flew to Holland in January 1991. On the summer 1992, I came back to Mexico only to apply for a grant for PhD studies. I flew to Sheffield in October 1992, Martha joined me two months later. Metztli was born in St. Jesop Hospital in June 1994. In May 1996, I came back to Mexico for good. After a while I rejoined VITRO, this time at NPD as continuous improvement leader. Ian was born in VITRO Clinic in April 1998, then, I moved to APM (a Flat Steel Company) where I worked as a Models Engineer in the Hot Rolling Department. Since March 2003, I am Full Time Professor at the Nuevo Leon Autonomous University.
