I am Mexican, with a degree in Communication Sciences and a Master's Degree in Philosophy and History of Ideas. I obtained the degree of Doctor in Novohispanic Studies in 2019 with the thesis: Bullfighting and anti-bullfighting postures in Spain and ‘New Spain’ in the 18th century. An illustrated debate between detractors and apologists. I have been a partner of someone who is antibullfighting for 25 years. We have three children, two of whom live with us. One likes bulls, and the other doesn't. Both positions can coexist without this being a problem
I have published some articles and essays on bullfighting in various media. I participate in the active defense of bullfighting by generating and disseminating content with arguments based on science, reason and evidence. Bullfighting has given me many gifts, including meeting and discovering fascinating people. This is how I know Ángeles Díaz. Together we created Bullfighting Cultural Networks, a channel to share our hobby just as we do in our daily environment, which, by the way, is mostly anti-bullfighting. My taurine research topics include the cult of the bull and bullfighting.
Bullfighting is MUCH more than what is seen in a bullring.
I was born and raised in Mexico City. I studied Law at ITAM and worked as a lawyer in the International Tax Affairs area of the Ministry of Finance. I have been married for 24 years and I have two daughters aged 20 and 22. I’ve lived in San Antonio, Texas, for more than 20 years, where I have fronted various non-profit organizations as well as the administration area of a service sales company. I have my own bakery business.
I was introduced to the world of bullfighting from a very young age. My dad was a great aficionado who practiced bullfighting too. My entire childhood was spent in bullrings and, above all, on bull ranches. My particular bullring has always been La Plaza México, where I’ve great memories from the eighties to the present, although I have been lucky enough to experience bullfighting in several of my country’s states. From a very young age I’ve also had the opportunity to get to know the world of bullfighting in Spain, where I’ve been able to attend some of its most emblematic bullrings, and I always try to return.

Bullfighting is much more than a hobby, it’s a passion that is lived daily, a way of life. Being able to teach bullfighting, talk about it from different points of view and create Bullfighting Cultural Networks together with Fernanda Haro, has been an experience of learning, collaboration and investigation.
