Professional Development
In the professional area, he had an outstanding career with several public competitions, winning bids for constructions such as the Consistorial of the Municipality of Ñuñoa, the Padre Hurtado exercise house, the San Ignacio School on Pocuro Avenue, among others. He performed essential works in residential neighbourhoods, the Banco de Chile, Los Leones, the Balneario de Tejas Verdes, and private residences in the capital, Concepción and Chillán.
He was also vital abroad, as in the conception and execution of the Loyola Novitiate in Panama. On the other hand, he dedicated himself to agricultural activities in the family estate "El Rancho de San José" in the Colchagua area.
