Bio

Life is a journey. It doesn't matter where you start. The only thing that matters is where you end up and what you accomplish along the way. My journey as an immigrant who reached the shores of this great country without his family, without speaking the language and without any money is chronicled in the book Obstacles Welcome. It is a story of inspiration for all and proof that the American Dream is still alive. My grandmother (my abuela) served as an inspiration for me when she told me ''Ralph don't let anyone put limitations on what you can achieve''. It is a quote that I use in almost every speech to inspire people to reach their dreams despites the many obstacles that we often face. The video on the link below is a great synopsis of my belief sets and values. I hope that it inspires you to be your best and to overcome any obstacles that you may face in business or in life. I am very grateful to JA of Georgia for producing the video and honoring me in their Business Hall of Fame.
