Manny was born and raised in the entertainment capital of the world—Las Vegas, Nevada. Ever since he was a child, he really cared about and loved all animals. He would help them by finding them homes, bringing them back to good health, and loving them by being their friend. Growing up, he didn't really think about working with animals as a career; it was just something he loved to do.
His first career choice was as a horticultural technician, working with interior plants. He then went on to become an automotive technician. Although he really enjoys those professions, they are no more than just hobbies for him. In 2013, Manny discovered Lorenzo's Dog Training Team. He had found a team that shared and believed in the same thoughts and feelings as he did. He believed that their purpose was effective, yet physically and physiologically sound. He became part of the team upon finding out that he would be doing what he loved with a great team supporting him.
Manny is on his way to becoming a master trainer and making the world a better place, training one dog at time. When he is not training Manny likes to garden, work on cars, build computers, spend time with his family, friends, and of course, his dog, Shadow.
