Before SI: Earned a BS in electrical engineering from the University of Puerto Rico. "After I took the GRE, I received a postcard from SI, and I got very interested in the Archives and Records Management specialization. ... I found very appealing the opportunity to merge two of my favorite areas: history and computer technologies."
At SI: Worked in U-M's Bentley Historical Library as a manuscript assistant, processing collections and writing finding aids. Did a summer internship at the University of Texas-San Antonio Archives Department while working as a text archivist at the San Antonio Express-News. Among his professional accomplishments was a research paper he delivered at the 2002 Society of American Archivists conference -- "The Forbidden Files: Creation and Use of Surveillance Files Against the Independence Movement in Puerto Rico."
After SI: An archivist with the General Archives of Puerto Rico. His first project there involved digitizing late-19th and early-20th century documents from the Department of Transportation.
