I am a Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States of America. I am married to Leomery
Switzer, a United States of America citizen. I have two children, who are U.S. citizens, Mariana
Torrealba, and Santiago Torrealba, as well as a granddaughter, daughter of my daughter
Mariana, named Misha Ray Siegfried. All of them reside in the United States of America, in the
city of Tampa, Florida.
I was born in the town of Guarico, Lara State in Venezuela, on June 30, 1957. I studied at the
Pedagogical Institute of Caracas, now known as the Rómulo Gallegos Experimental University,
where, in December 1985, I obtained the degree of Bachelor of Physical Education and Sports
Techniques. In Venezuela I worked as a Physical Education teacher, Olympic gymnastics coach,
Track and Field coach, and Physical Trainer in various educational centers and organizations,
among which we can list: Mater Dei School Private Educational Unit, Santa Rosa de Lima School
Private Educational Unit, Diego Cisneros Organization, Hebraica Social and Sports Center,
Montessori School Private Educational Unit, and at the Washington Academy Private
Educational Unit, until 2018 when I moved to the city of Kissimmee, Florida.
In Venezuela, I completed various studies or accreditations at the Specialist level, among which
it is worth highlighting Positive Psychology, Photography and Art, and Photography and
Postproduction.
I obtained the "Rafael Vidal Olympic Medal Award" in the category of Sports Talent Coach.
I started working at Trinity Lutheran College in Kissimmee, Florida, in September 2023, where I
teach various sports skills and techniques to students from VPK through 12th grade.
I plan to do the accreditation as a personal trainer through the NACSF, a test that I will possibly
take in mid-2025.
