I was born and raised in a family dedicated to the bakery trade. I am the third generation. My father and grandparents operated their businesses in León Guanajuato, Mexico. Something that I remember about my father was that he told me to learn a lot and especially learn a lot about the trade of bread because then I would always have a job. To this day this advice is what I live on. I was originally studying to be an architect but when my father died my siblings and I weren’t able to continue college any longer. We all left school and dedicated ourselves to the business my father had left us.I came to Colorado in 2005 and started as the manager of La Azteca Ranch Market in charge of the bakery and pastry department. I stayed in this job for 8-10 years. Then I worked for about 8 months in the Mexican Bakery of Sheridan until we formally opened Anastasia’s Bakery in this location. The business is named after my oldest daughter. My wife and I have two daughters and a son, and I dedicate myself to them more than anything.The greatest satisfaction that this job gives me is that people like the products I make. Since I opened the bakery, I’ve had some of the same employees for the past 13 years, with the last person hired over 4 years ago. I treat them well and, I think because of that, they keep working here. This harmony and camaraderie are something that makes me happy; we have all been very happy working together the past several years.I believe our success has come from our hard work, perseverance, and consistently serving customers quality items.
