From a very young age, Manuel's desire to fly on an airplane was indescribable. When he finally achieved this at the age of 12, he discovered that he not only wanted to travel on them but also wanted to know how they worked. This curiosity soon turned into a passion for aeronautical engineering, which ultimately led him to pursue his dream career.

On the ecclesiastical side, he has served as President of the Elders Quorum and Stake High Priest assigned to missionary work and advisor to the Elders Quorum of the Magnolias Ward.

His dream job is to be an air traffic analyst in airport control towers.

He wants to start his own business in the area of American visas. But right now, he just wants to finish his degree so he can feel like his childhood dreams have finally come true.
