Raúl and his wife, Rebecca, are the proud parents of five children – Michael, Katerina, Joshua, Diego and Rafael. They live in Eagle, ID, where all five of their children enrolled in the local public schools.

Through a solid belief in the value of education, Raúl’s mother moved their small family to the mainland and Raúl completed high school, and he later earned a degree from Brigham Young University and an advanced degree at the University of Washington.

Raúl built a successful small business and was the owner and managing partner of a law firm with offices in Boise and Nampa.Raúl and Rebecca are active members of their church and involved in community life.
