Pablo E. Rivera is from the northern town of Carolina, in the island of Puerto Rico. While growing up his parents were successful in balancing and instilling a sense of responsibility and integrity, coupled with love and empathy towards others. He has been living in San Antonio, Texas since 2008, when he arrived to pursue his law degree at St. Mary’s University School of Law. Prior to that, he was a combat medic in the United States Army for four years, serving in OIF 2.5 and OIF 06-08 in Iraq and reaching the rank of Sergeant.
