Said Mr. Vasquez, "The decisions that clients face at this time in their lives go to the core of what matters in life:  children, family, and relationships. Helping others face these critical issues brings out my best qualities:  logic, compassion, and sympathy. In fact, I'm blessed to be able to work at a job that I love and where I know that I am truly making a positive difference in people's lives."

In his free time, Mr. Vasquez enjoys reading, traveling, and playing soccer and tennis, and especially enjoys quality time with his wife and daughter.
