The timeline
How did I get here?
Nine stops, one thread. It starts with a kid trying to buy an Xbox and ends with a question mark.
Age 13
The first computer
Trying to buy an Xbox
I got my first computer and immediately started looking for ways to make money online. I built a YouTube channel around sports and gaming and grew it to roughly 50,000 subscribers. First lesson: attention has value.
Age 15
The first sports store
Mexican soccer merch in the US
Mexican soccer merchandise was almost impossible to find in the United States. I started selling official jerseys, then customers told me what to add next. Before 18, I had done more than $100K in sales.
Age 18
Marketing
University
I liked the process too much to treat it as a hobby: find the opportunity, understand the customer, build the thing, get people to notice it, get them to buy. So I studied marketing.
Age 18
Digital agency
First real clients
Six months into university I joined a digital marketing agency. Websites, e-commerce, SEO, SEM, social ads, campaigns — for the first time I was building for other people, not just for myself.
Age 20
Liga MX
Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles
E-Commerce Coordinator at a professional soccer club, right as COVID pushed everything online. The club launched XoloShop and its official app. That is where I saw how powerful sports commerce really is.
Back home
US Sportswear
San Diego, CA
A local sports retailer with no real digital presence. I joined as Marketing Director, built the Shopify ecosystem, ran SEO and SEM, managed 4,500+ SKUs — and total company sales grew about 45%.
Along the way
Consulting
San Diego & Mexico
Small and medium businesses moving from traditional to digital: stores, catalogs, visibility, strategy. The goal was never just to hand someone a website. It was to give customers a reason to use it.
Today
DoubleTree by Hilton
Purchasing & Receiving Manager
The other side of commerce: what we need, when we need it, what we pay, how inventory stays accurate. Great e-commerce does not end at checkout — it has to work behind the scenes too.

San Diego Wave FC?
Where the pieces come together
Sports, e-commerce, marketing, merchandise, operations, fans and San Diego. Maybe this is where the pieces finally come together.
San Diego Wave FC?
The question mark is intentional. Maybe this is where the pieces finally come together.
