I was born in
Bilbao, Spain. Bilbao is the largest city in
Euskadi (the Basque Country).
When I was around 4 years old, the company that my father used to work
for took several contracts overseas and relocated us to Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic until I
was around 8 when we moved back to Spain. Then, when I was around 10,
we moved to Ecuador and lived there for almost 4 years. After that,
they sent us to Bolivia where we lived in the beautiful colonial city of Sucre
for 4 years. After finishing high school I decided to study
Computer
Science at Oklahoma State University in
Stillwater, Oklahoma, US. On the first day of orientation week for
international students, I met my future wife Shim (below), who is from
Malaysia. Currently my wife and I live in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada where I am a Professor at the
Department of Computer Science at
St. Francis Xavier University . The rest of my family lives in Spain.
