Acerca de

Estudiar no era lo mío por lo que comencé a dedicarme desde muy joven a algo relacionado con la imagen y la informática, en una productora que trabajaba para la televisión autónomica. Después ayudé al negocio familiar (el AZZURRO Rock Pub) unos años, y acabó convirtiéndose en mi actividad principal. Desde hace unos años he compatibilizado el Azzurro con llevar adelante un proyecto con 3 socios más: MODPC, una comunidad de aficionados a la informática y una tienda de artículos relacionados con ella. Ambas empresas tienen una importante presencia en Internet.
