P1010184Milton was born and raised in Tarija, Bolivia on the border with Argentina. He graduated from the Universidad Mayor de San Andres (in La Paz) obtaining a license in Civil Engineer in 1986.

Milton has been a practicing engineer for over 20 years. He has done many consulting and design projects, with the more important ones being the project manager and coordinator for the construction of the Cinemateca Boliviana: the principal cultural center in the capital of La Paz, Bolivia.

He is married to Margarita Machaca Mamani and has a boy, Samuel, who is ten years old. Milton’s salary is only $500 a month, which is low even by Bolivian standards. It is our hope to raise his and Ruben’s salary to $600/month in 2009.
