Can you share a little bit about your personal background and how it led you to your current business?

My journey started from humble beginnings in Hobbs, New Mexico My mother, who was an immigrant from Chihuahua, Mexico, was the person whoo inspired me to become the entrepreneur I am today. She ran a restaurant and a clothing store and managed property rentals, all while raising her children. From a young I learned the value of hard work and dedication, often accompanying his mother to manage her businesses. This early exposure to entrepreneurship deeply influenced my career path. I remember times where she would take me out to the fields and wrap me up in a blanket while I was a baby. Seeing these men and women and how hard they worked to provide for their families was truly inspiring. My mother had always inspired you to want to become an entrepreneur and always taught me to pursue my dreams. After an incredible career at NPC I took a chance bet on myself, cashed in my 401k even when everyone told me not to and soon enough in 2003 Global Processing Systems was born.

What inspired you to start your business, and how does it reflect your personal values?

My mother was an entrepreneur, the main provider, while my father, a blue-collar worker, labored in the oil fields where I grew up. I still answer the phone, take out the trash, and handle client interactions alongside my corporate duties. I'm deeply involved in everything from SEO to negotiations with banks. People often ask how it feels to be at this level, and I tell them, my email signature doesn't carry a title—it’s just my name and the company. I don't believe in titles; I was raised to value work, not position.

How did you come to be involved in the Industry Leaders Association and what aspects of ILA’s mission resonate most with you and your business?

"The turning point for me was quite personal and profoundly simple. It was faith and a seemingly chance encounter that led me to this path. I met Tricia through a mutual friend, and the moment she introduced me to her mother, something clicked. I've always felt a strong connection to my own mother, who passed away in 2004, and meeting Tricia and her mother on what was her birthday—it just felt like a sign. From there, I was compelled to learn more about the Leadership Industry Association and everything they stood for. Despite knowing little about them at the time, I felt a powerful pull to help and support their mission. Helping even one person find their way or inspiring someone to keep pushing forward—that's what motivates me.

Looking ahead, what new projects or expansions are to excited about over the next one to five years?

Our next big leap involves expanding our operations into Mexico, a market that feels both familiar and inspiring, given my roots. We've been blessed to receive the green light to operate beyond our home country, which is a significant milestone for us. Five years from now, we envision ourselves as key players in the industry.
