My SAP experience:

I started working with SAP since 2007, because the company I used to work implement SAP, I participate as a key user in SD/MM modules, I learned a lot, but as a key user was forbidden to me to customize and set up the system , I was really hungry to learn and implement more functionallity.

Finally in 2011 finished this cycle and begin a new opportunity as internal SAP consultant in a consumer products company, so since this date I participate in several roll outs for plants in Denmark, Sweden, US, Colombia and Guatemala, obtain more SAP knowledge and the opportunity to travel and get new friends . Thanks to SCN was there to support me.

Funny situation in a project:

I would like to share with you abouta funnysituationwhile I wereon arolloutinDenmark, my birthdaywas celebrated,and a co-worker of theSAPteam organized asurprisecake at the end of the day. So he invite to the dining room for a coffee. I do not guess thatthere would be a surprise party, and when we enter in the dining room one of the key users in the front shouthappybirthday!!  withopen arms, so I thought he wouldgive me a hug. Youcan imaginethelook on her face when I hug her!! after that awkward situation the other Danish key users got twostepsback andjustsaid Happy Birthday quietly.

I born and grew up in Ojo de Agua a little town near Mexico city (at this time is part of the big Metropolitan city), my father Victor a salesman, my mother Adela a clerk and 3 brothers Victor, Gerardo y Luis.

Now I have my family Virginia my wife and two beutiful daughters Monserrat and Estefania. We love to expend time togheter in weekends and holidays, We can just  go to the movies or try for adventure (see the rafting picture in Jalcomulco Veracruz or Skiing in Tahoe) .

What is the best lesson your parents taught you?

Ever you want to do, do it with PASSION!, never GIVE UP to achieve your goals! and never be AFRAID TO FAIL! is worst if you dont try it, but learn for your faults, the next time yo will do it better!

What do you most enjoy on SCN?

I enjoy the documents and blogs, because every day I learn new stuffs, and also be in touch with people of all the world and share with them.
