There, he honed his business skills and established several successful businesses, including the iconic La Siesta Mexican Restaurant in Richmond, Virginia, which operated for over 30 years.  

In 2000, he founded and became the CEO of the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (VaHCC) and the Virginia Hispanic Foundation, linking the Hispanic business community within the Commonwealth of Virginia and providing educational resources and opportunities for the Hispanic Community.
