Getting To Know Francisco Paco

I'm concerned about the well-being of domestic animals, as well as farm and wild animals. I volunteer at the shelter in town and do other activities to bring awareness and education about responsible ownership of pets in the community. I love pit bulls, especially for their persistance & determination. I love to listen to international music and dancing with my wife every time we can.

I love reading but I'm not creative at writing. I prefer to do my work outside, than spending much time in front of the computer. Computers are door tools, but they don't rule my life.

My favorite sport is Soccer, but I don't play much these days. I love travelling and learning about different cultures. My international friend from FIS is Bedh from Nepal and he's very cool. I love cooking, but eating in moderation. No more cholestrol for me.
