Culinary Institute of America (CIA)

I worked at well-known restaurant in San Antonio Biga on the Bank. They serve French-Asian cuisines using local ingredients, such as ostrich and venison.

I prefer to cook versus bake, but everyone seems to like my Crème Brulee and chocolate cake.

Eventually, I would like to be in food related career, but not cooking.

This is my current career. I specialized in marketing to the US ethnic communities.

Luckily, I really like watching TV. One of my goal is to be on the Price is Right. I thought about going on Survivor, but never created video tape to enter.

My favorite shows are: Curb your Enthusiasm, Survivor, King of Queens, Deadwood, Sopranos, Most Reality TV, Sporting Event, Channel 99...

I'm not very good at golf, but managed to beat my brother, Albert. He has no course management skills. I've been luckily enough to play on some nice courses: Wingfoot (2006 US Open), Sugarloaf, La Canteras (Vallero Open) and others. But my younger brother has played at Pebble, so I'm glad someone in our family has.

Paris, France (there's a Paris, TX):  One of the most beautiful city I've ever visited. Tied for my favorite city. People were so nice. Nothing is more surreal than watching the Simpsons, voiceover in German, when your in Paris.

Florence, Italy:  Great shopping and best gelato in Italy. A place in San Antonio, TX was a close second.

Rome, Italy:  Best combination of history and modernization.

Venice, Italy:  Tourist trap, but my wife thought they had the best looking guys.

Siena, Italy:  We wanted to see the Palio Horserace. Without it, we got bored in one day.

Ravello, Italy:  Our hotel was situated on cliff overseeing the ocean. I could've dove into the water from my balcony. Friendly locals.

New Orleans:  Tied for my favorite city. Great food. Great people. Do the airboats during the swamp tour. There's so much more than Bourbon St.

San Francisco/Big Sur:  Beautiful. Would like to live there if I could afford it.

Dallas/Houston/Austin/San Antonio:  One is hotter than the other. Austin was cool. Very Bohemian.

New York:  The city never sleep. Always something to do. Too many people. And the cabbies are rude. They'll cuss at you if you don't tip. A..holes!

Miami:  Forgettable. Hurricanes, cocaine and plantains.

Puerto Rico:  Old San Juan was cool. There's gambling. What's not to like...oh yeah, hurricane season.

Las Vegas:  If you don't like to gamble, drink, golf, buy tacky gifts, eat at buffets than there's nothing to do.
