He grew up in Brownsville, TX and graduated with many academic/athletic honors from St. Joseph's Academy High School. He graduated from St. Mary's University with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. While attending college, he met the love of his life. He married Evelyn Guerrero, his eternal love, September 6, 1959 and were married for over 55 years.

In 1959, he joined the Army and served honorably. He and Evelyn raised four children and through sacrifice ensured that each child received a Catholic education through high school. They continued their firm beliefs in Catholic education by continuing to give their volunteer time to Catholic schools and Churches, in particular, St. Pius X, Bishop Lynch, and Bishop Dunne.

He worked as a Supervisory Chemist for 30 years for FDA. He was chosen to go to Mexico City, Mexico to assist the Mexican government in creating the modern Mexican FDA. He consulted with the World Health Organization in Rome, Argentina, Peru, and Puerto Rico. After a distinguished career with the FDA, he retired in 1991 to focus on his grandchildren. Evelyn and Humberto spent much time attending sporting events, family events, and hosting extended summer vacations at "Mamo and Papo's" home. Their home was built with laughter, memories, and love.
