Roberto Núñez Moreno, Patrón National Brand Ambassador
Roberto was born in Jalisco, the Mexican land of Tequila and Mariachi. His family was involved in the restaurant business, and he became familiar with the industry at a very young age. He decided to join the seminary and study to become a priest. His studies brought him to live in different parts of México, Spain and Italy. Roberto obtained a first master’s degree in philosophy, a second one in neurolinguistics programming, and certifications in finance. His adventurous spirit and desire to improve brought him to immigrate to the USA.

The American dream had some nightmares. As an illegal immigrant his background didn’t matter. The bar and restaurant industry was the only one who opened its doors to him. He started from the bottom and rapidly made his way to bartending. He worked in bars and restaurants in Boston for seven years before moving to Austin, TX.

Roberto’s journey with Patrón started as a competitor in Patrón Perfectionists 2021 where he became a USA National finalist. Since then, he started collaborating with Patrón in different events, eventually becoming Patrón’s National Brand Ambassador in The US.
