My name is Efrain Valdez; I live in San Benito, TX. My city is located in an area known as the Rio Grande Valley, deep in South Texas, near the Mexican border of Tamaulipas. I am so close to the Mexican border that I'm privileged to enjoy a mixture of cultures along both sides of this world. I've been in sales management for the greater part of my business life; in my personal life I've always enjoyed writing and sharing stories with others. The most important thing in my life is family; these stories are about life and family.
