     I was born in Santiago, Chile. My first love was biology.  Actually, my first love was a seven-year old little girl named Lucila, who broke my heart.  Following biology's shining path, I worked for ten years in a laboratory.  In 1973,    however,  my world came

   crumbling down after a bloody coup d'etat and I came to the States.  In San Diego, California, I studied literature and I got a Ph. D. in Latin American Literature.  I have several hobbies which I practice erratically. Among them is painting, writing poetry and tae kwon do.   Tae kwon do is one of my favorites. I remember that when I was a blue belt I had good extension but very little control of my strength.As a consequence, I kicked lots of people that I didn't mean to.  In time, I became a disciplined  brown belt, fully in control of my power.  But then, for some reason, I got kicked a lot by more experienced brown belts and black belts. My intuition tells me that one of life's most important metaphors is there, but I cannot fully  formalize it.

Presently, I am an instructor in Fresno City College.
