ABOUT ME

    Yup, that's me. Blackberry in hand, I'm the roving reporter. I live in Silver City, NM. My current obsession, (and there have been many, just ask my wife) is social media and the internet. What a powerful tool.... The ability to post anything, video, pictures, text, from just about anywhere.

   I'm a very lucky guy.......... Married my beautiful wife, Amanda, on Aug 11, 2007. .

  We had our first child, Vanessa Anne, on July 30, 2009. The name Vanessa was derived from Van, which is my father-in-laws name. Had Vanna been a boy a more a masculine Hispanic name would have been chosen to reflect my blood line, Ricardo or Armando.

The two prettiest girls ever!!

   Together we own Gila House Hotel & Gallery 400. Which is located right down town Silver City. Downtown Silver City is a big part of our lives.

During the week I work at Hidalgo Medical Services as a Dental Hygienist. I work at the Community Health Center in Lordsburg, NM, Monday-Wendsady and at Med square in Silver City on Thursday.
