He has recorded about 18 albums throughout his ministerial career that are part of the songs that are sung today in many Hispanic-speaking Protestant churches. He married Gloriana Diaz on April 2006. He converted to Christianity at the age of 14 when he was invited to the Great Campaign of Divine Healing that later changed its name to "Oasis de Esperanza" in Costa Rica.
