Hurtado,+Jose+(Manny)



My name is Manny Hurtado and I am a 43 year old teacher, father of 3 and husband to my wife Evelyn for close to 20 years. My wife and I are international teachers and I am currently teaching 4th grade in Abuja, Nigeria. I enjoy traveling, outdoor activities such as hiking and camping, playing basketball and spending time with my family. I am a veteran of the US Army and was an airborne paratrooper in the 82d Airborne Division in Ft. Bragg, NC. I am proud to be an American, but am thoroughly enjoying life outside the US; my theory is there are many wonderful places to visit and only one short life! My boys Manuel, Marcos and Mateo are ages 18, 16 and 14 and my wife and I try to drag them to as many places as we can hoping they will gain experiences, respect for other cultures and different people's way of life (so far I think it's working). I would love to complete as many things on my "bucket list" as possible before I die, and I know one will be done at the end of the year which is cage diving with Great White sharks in South Africa. I hope I'm around after to tell you more, so stay tuned....
