American Opportunity: Vincent Gutierrez Interviewed by Julian Garcia

I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my friends at work Vincent John Gutierrez to whom I worked with at Hyatt house of belmont. Vincent came here about 6 years ago. To seek and capture the American dream which he is still currently working on. Vincent was born in Quezon city one of the main bigger city on the island of Luzon, though he was born there he did not grew up there, Vincent spent most of his childhood in the city of Batangas another town south of Manila  an agricultural suburban area. Vincent have been traveling in america as a tourist to visit some of his family and relatives here in the U.S. at first he was not really thinking of moving here because he has establish a business in the Philippines at an early age. moving here was not something that he was considering till he saw opportunities that could be better.
