My Family

My Story Family Friends Photo Gallery


My immediate family is just my wife, Maria, and I (for now), but our extended family is quite large.

I have family spread throughout the United States (Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia) as well as a large part of my Dad's family in Mexico. It's pretty cool to have have so much family everywhere. It seems like everywhere I go there's family nearby that I can visit.

I am very interested in my family history (it's quite diverse: Aztec, English, German, Irish, Mexican, Spanish, and Swiss). I have been compiling a family tree for several years now. I currently have over 400 relatives in the family tree going back as far as 450 years ago. One day I might have the time to integrate it into this page, but that will be a major undertaking.
