Juan was born in San Francisco to an immigrant mother from Germany and a Mexican American father in the military. He was raised in the west Texas City of El Paso, where, at a very young age, he was inspired by his father to pursue a future in politics by becoming one of the youngest participants in the 1984 Republican National Convention.  Based on his tenacity, he was chosen for an opportunity to intern in Washington D.C where he became passionate about studying law. Juan graduated from Texas Wesleyan School of Law in 2005. In his free time, he enjoys Iron Man competitions, golf, camping and grilling out with his family.

Juan has personally endured the tragedy of a motor vehicle accident. In 2003, he lost his beloved sister due to the negligence of another driver. This personal experience enables him to have great empathy for the heartbreak and frustration YOU may be currently going through.
