He was born on August 4, 1959 in the town of Lascano, Manabí, Ecuador, and from 2 years of age resides in Guayaquil. He was not a good student and since he was a child he was inclined towards acting, making inroads in it before turning 17, after seeing an advertisement about some courses at the Casa de la Cultura Núcleo del Guayas at the end of the 70's. There he had his first appearance on stage with the play "La Farsa del Corregidor", where he played a static guard. With the passage of time he managed to have more important roles due to his development.
