PLACES THAT I'VE LIVED
I have had the opportunity to live in several fantastic cities. I've spent most of my life in my home country, living in Santiago, Chile. We also lived with my wife in Madrid for a few months. We lived in Austin TX while I was getting my MBA. We spent more than 7 years in Mexico City with our 3 children. The last 8 years we have been living in Miami.
All very different and fantastic places.
