His first production was Un Sueño Hecho Realidad ("A dream come true"), released in 1993. Later, he graduated earning a bachelor degree in Accounting and Marketing from Universidad Metropolitana, with excellent grades, and began to practice his profession, however, a car accident changed the course of his life.
