Married to Virginia Florez, in love for 25 years and married for 18; they have two wonderful children "Blessed Am I among women": Gabie who is 15 years old, who thinks "Chris Brown" is the Bomb and Estrellita who is 9 years old. She is just interested in climbing, running, falling, yelling, sleeping, eating pizza, eating her "mocos" hiding in the closet and giving hugs and kisses. I guess she is your average 9-year-old.
