Here are some words from Arturo:

My people are all teachers. My parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and brother are teachers, trainers, principals and educators. They have all shown me the joys of sharing knowledge with hungry students. Teaching is in my bones and blood. My greatest teachers, my parents, taught me that if you study and do what you love, you will love teaching it to others. I love the human body. It is a source of endless curiosity and exploration for me. There is always more to experience, sense and learn. In over 35 years of gaining "expertise" I have never felt like I reached the end of the road in my studies. The body keeps teaching me more.
