I am honored to serve as the 2010 HSMAI Arizona Chapter President and it is with great pride that I intend to grow, lead, and most importantly have FUN with our membership.

My dad's family owned a Cuban grocery store in a prominent Italian neighborhood so I learned early in life the importance of respect, honor, and loyalty. It is based on these life values that I came up with my theme for 2010: "This Thing of Ours."
