His first contact with bars was in the luxurious -now defunct- restaurant SAN TELMO in the city of Quito. It was love at first sight, that passion led him to leave his engineering career and specialize in Bar and Restaurant Management.
The owners of SAN TELMO – Avero Family – decided to open CHOSEN BAR, the 1st Fine Cocktail Bar in Ecuador, together with Nicolas Castro, here they awakened creativity and hunger for knowledge for their profession, surrounding themselves and learning from great professionals in the world of cooking. wine, coffee, fermentations and hospitality.
The same curiosity took him to Europe to specialize at the Basque Culinary Center, he was part of the team of the renowned Bartender Patxi Troitiño with whom they inaugurated the cocktail terraces of Pedro Subijana’s Akelarre Restaurant (3* Michelin).
