Born and raised in Mexico City, his deep connection with nature from an early age led him to become a self-taught herpetologist. He currently dedicates his life to the conservation and preservation of amphibians through his project Dardo / Corazón de Selva. Throughout his career, he has worked with fish, marine invertebrates, insects, arachnids, reptiles, and amphibians. However, for over 20 years, his research and fieldwork have focused on the family Dendrobatidae, making it the central axis of his scientific, editorial, and conservation work. His approach centers on creating high-quality content that gives these species a voice and brings them closer to a broader audience, while also positioning them as a source of inspiration for creative disciplines—strengthening both their visibility and conservation. He is currently developing an editorial project composed of four books dedicated to these jewels of the rainforest, covering topics such as evolution, phylogeny, behavior, characteristics, reproduction, species classification, nomenclature, and all aspects related to their coloration and patterns. He has given lectures in Mexico and Europe on amphibian conservation and their biomedical potential. In parallel, he has specialized in ecosystem architecture, designing habitats that replicate rainforest conditions and provide optimal environments for frogs in captivity. His greatest sources of learning and inspiration have been field expeditions in the rainforests of South America, where he photographs and documents these species in their natural environment. In 2019, together with his team, he participated in the discovery of a new species of the genus Phyllobates in a remote region of the Colombian Chocó.
