Originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico, Rafael is one of Eleven Western’s newest Project Managers. He’s always had a strong passion for construction design and after realizing that passion, he went on to receive his Architecture degree from the University of Guadalajara, Mexico. Ever since, he’s been pursuing his career in construction.

For fun, Rafael enjoys watching soccer, going to concerts, watching football, going to the movies, going to the beach, and traveling. A typical day for Rafael will start with work and end with family and dinner. Usually, there are some car rides involving his kids getting from school to practice to band, etc., but no matter the day, he’s always doing his best to enjoy life.

His favorite sweet is chocolate, but his favorite meal is either a quality steak or Italian food. Breakfast also holds a special place in Rafael’s heart as he enjoys going to Papagayo in Encinitas for Sunday breakfasts. His favorite place to be is at the beach in México (Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Cancún, Acapulco), but he’s super excited to be part of the EWB team and looks forward to working with everyone.
