Television
I watch very little TV (unfortunately). But when I do, I prefer to watch ASU football, the History Channel, and "How Its Made" on the Discovery Science channel.

My parents, Aurelia and Raúl S. Monreal, Jr., were both born and raised in Sonora, Mexico. Education has always been very important in my family. ..
My mother attained the highest ratings in school and, as a result, received an invitation via scholarship to attend La Escuela Normal de Educación Primaria in 1959. This was a premier college for education located in the heart of Hermosillo, Mexico. She received her Diploma de Educación Primaria in 1962, which is equivalent to a Bachelor of Arts in elementary education. She went on to pursue a career as a certified elementary school teacher in Nogales, Mexico.

My father is a real-life example of the power of education. Growing up, my father did all he could to earn money for the family, including picking cotton, selling gum and cleaning windshields along the Mexico/Arizona border. Today, he holds three degrees (a bachelor’s in education, a master’s in administration and educational specialist in higher education) from Arizona State University and serves as Director of the South Mountain Community College Guadalupe Center. He frequently told me that an education helps balance all of the other disadvantages in life. I credit my parents with instilling in me a strong moral compass and an insatiable desire to achieve.

About me:
During my junior year at Tempe High School, I met sophomore Sally Hernandez. What started as a date to a high school dance, turned into a once-in-a-lifetime love. We continued our relationship throughout college at Arizona State University and married in May of 2001, thirteen years from the time we first met. Today, we have a hyper-active 4 year old daughter Sierra Nicole, our 11 month baby boy Cruz and a family dog, Romeo.
I'm a proud ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY SUNDEVIL ALUMNI!!! I Graduated in Computer Science from the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering in May 1995. After a 16 year engineering career, I now serve as the Engineering Section Manager at General Dynamics responsible for 100 engineers executing major military intelligence programs.
Although engineering is my official profession, some assume I am a fulltime comedy show promoter and producer. While serving as president of the Arizona State University Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) student chapter in the early 90's, I met up with Salvador Zambrano who was serving as a national student representative of SHPE. In 1994, we established SUMMA Communications, a promotions company focused on raising funds for local Latino non-profit organizations. I feel very strongly about giving back to community organizations like those that helped me financially through college. For the past 15 years, SUMMA Communications has organized and promoted the Original Latino Comedy Night at the Improv in Tempe, Arizona. This event is labeled the biggest and best Latino comedy event in the state and has become a traditional event for the Valley of the Sun. Stay tuned for an upcoming show on April 29th, 2009. Check out www.LatinoComedyNight.com or click on the image below for more info.
I'll always do my best to "help others help themselves" in everything they do.
Since the inception of the Original Latino Comedy Night, we've been able to donate in excess of $50,000 to several non-profit organizations to include the 9 Beans & A Burrito Foundation Scholarship Fund, Omega Delta Phi Latino Fraternity, Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) – Tucson, Los Diablos ASU Latino Alumni Association, Boys and Girls Club of Metropolitan Phoenix - Northeast Branch, ASU Los Merecidos Scholarship Fund, the Glendale Youth Center, the Friendly House, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the Arizona Association of Chicanos for Higher Education (AACHE).

I Am Trying To Raise Money For A Much Needed Solo Trip With Some Friends To Vegas This Weekend. It Would Be Gratefully Appreciated If You Could Help And/Or Spread The Word. I am Selling Salsa And taking orders Through Thursday The 21st, The Prices Are As Follows:
Seeking a quiet place Just to hear His sweet voice Knowing I'm always in such desperate need Stillness allows direct connection With His HThe Key To The Gate oly Spirit by Christ's love I'm fed Love will overcome He's spoken Love will overcome I'm led Hate will only leave you broken Love will overcome Christ said Hate is the devil's evil weapon Love is the blood that Christ has shed Hate will take you away from your Father's presence Through Christ Jesus in your life the devil is dead Love is the power sweet Jesus has said With the precious blood of Jesus overcome that hate Love is the only key that will unlock Heaven's gate.
You are very welcome but it is you I thank for always hooking it up!
As far my Salsa Biz. . . I make a descent profit thanks to my regulars but it is not steady! I catered my 1st wedding a few weeks ago, that went well! Was watching everyone's reactions when the Salsa was brought to their table and they tried it, it was such an awesome feeling. . .they wer'e tearing it up and commenting to eachother how good it was!
I want to really take it BIG but don't know how! Or Maybe I am just scared of success : ) . . .
I would love to try yours though, we'll have to plan to meet. Maybe we can brainstorm or something!
