Owner

Garabatos Spanish Preschool

August 2003 — Present (6 years 4 months)

This is a project that's largely run by my wife, Veronica, who's the school's director, though I manage the business aspects of the school. Truth be told, the school was only founded in 2006, but due to limitations within LinkedIn, the only way I could put it as a secondary current position was to back-date its founding.
