Antonio (he/him/his) is currently completing his doctorate in History at the Colegio de Morelos. He earned his Masters degree in History at the Colegio de Morelos and his Licenciatura in Accounting at La Salle University in Mexico City. Antonio is a Certified Public Accountant who worked for several years in the Mexican stock market.  However, he wasn’t happy wearing a suit and tie or living in Mexico City.  He then went to Oxford, England, where he studied English, but after a year he felt homesick, so he moved to Cuernavaca, where he has lived happily ever after since 1990.  

Prior to joining CGEE in January of 2003, Antonio spent several years teaching English and working at CETLALIC Alternative Spanish School, where he promoted the school and coordinated the Gay and Lesbian Studies Program.  In 1999, Antonio received a Teaching Certificate from the Anglo American School.  

Antonio is also a founder and active member of Grupo CD4, a non-profit organization devoted to fighting AIDS through sexual education.  His primary academic interests are LGBT issues, literature, and history.  He enjoys traveling, movies, reading, and writing.  

He is happy to report that after 22 years with his partner Eduardo, they were married in Mexico City in the summer of 2014, as new laws providing social security for same-sex couples were passed earlier the same year.  

Antonio teaches the HIS/WST course "Queer Histories in Latin America" and the POL/WST course "(Im)Migration, Gender, & Social Change. He also works with short-term faculty-led courses to Chiapas and Oaxaca.
