He has maintained a passion for heraldry for many years and for genealogy even longer, having assumed his arms in 2008 (certified by the CROM-BHGS, No.008/08) and studied his genealogy for almost two decades.

He is of Hellenic and Spanish origin, born in the United States to a Greek father and a Chilean mother.

Via his maternal line, he is proudly a descendant of the majority of the Conquistadors of Chile, Argentina and Peru, having documented his findings via primary and secondary sources. Through these, he has documented his ancestry to more than 1000 years in the past.
