Originally, from Houston Texas, I worked for the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Houston and was a partner in the Crockett Hotel in San Antonio where I lived with my daughter Layne Schuette for over 20 years. I also owned my own Antiques business during that time before moving to San Miguel. I speak fluent Spanish, having grown up in Argentina and Venezuela. I have been coming to San Miguel for many years, but 14 years ago I decided to move here full time when my business partner, Graciela Loyola, and I bought the "Management" portion of Casas de San Miguel. Currently I serve a 8 th term on the Board of Patronato Pro Niños and was Vice President of AMPI San Miguel, the National Real Estate Association of Mexico in 2014.
