About me:

I am an imaginative Cleantech entrepreneur with a global vision.
In 1999 with an Associates in Science Degree in the Recording Arts program from Full Sail Real World Education and several education awards I moved to Miami to design, install and take care off all technical aspects of the world renowned restaurant B.E.D in Miami Beach working as their Technical Manager. In early 2000 I was shown a prototype of a RGB HBLED lighting fixture and right away I visualized the potential of this new kind of lighting.
I designed and installed the first HB LED lighting system in Miami ( @ B.E.D) becoming a pioneer in the HB LED lighting industry. Soon after, I was also working in projects for Crobar,Spin, Mint, Opium Gardens, Mansion etc. Doing HB LED Lighting designs and installations from restaurants and nightclubs to a furniture store and a couple yachts (the M.Y. Pari and the M.Y. Octopus). After years of great success in the USA, in 2005 I moved back to Spain with the intention of opening one of the first LED lighting companies in this country. After 2 years of preparation and education as an entrepreneur in schools like EOI and IE. I developed a business plan that has been classified among the top 50 in the Eurowards 2006 contest, ranked among the top 20 of the Banespyme-Orange awards (formally known as Premios Neti) and that has been awarded the Premio Bancaja Jovenes Emprendedores. The business project TAEX became TECARTEX Digital Solutions, SL in March 2007 and we opened our doors in April. Today with our website www.tecartex.com we promote the global benefits of using HB LED lighting and bring the latest information of the HB LED industry to the English and Spanish speaking audiences while at the same time we offer our products and services online. We just recently lauched www.HBLEDnetwork.com a social site for profesionals and enthusiasts of HB LED lighting.
