“Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you first gave us!”1 Chronicles 29:14 · NLT, excerpt
Our gifts, resources, and opportunities are entrusted to us. I want to use them well and give generously.
I’m a Christian, a husband, a dad, and a first-generation immigrant. I was born in Reynosa, Mexico, raised in Houston, and Spanish is my first language.
That’s part of my story, just as much as the businesses I’ve built. So are my faith and my family. I was raised by pastor parents and came to faith at 13.
My wife, Kristen, and I are raising our daughter. Being a husband and a dad is a big part of my life, and it belongs in the conversation about why I build businesses in the first place.
Business is part of the story.
Today, my work includes teaching, writing, speaking, and helping bookkeepers and entrepreneurs put better systems and practical AI to work. But the conversation always comes back to what we want our businesses to make room for: family, faith, time, and a life outside of work.
From accounting to building something of my own.
I earned my BBA at Sam Houston State University and worked as a controller at an immigration law firm before starting my own business.
In 2017, I purchased Bookkeeper Launch, a course offered by Bookkeepers.com, and became a student. I started Paralledger and built a bookkeeping business serving law firms, drawing on the experience and relationships I’d developed while working in that industry.
Along the way, I learned how to find clients, earn their trust, build a team, and move from doing the work to leading the business. Those are still the kinds of challenges I help other business owners work through today.
That journey brought me back to Bookkeepers.com as a coach, then into curriculum and leadership. In 2025, I became the owner of the company that helped me get started.
