In December 2003, he won First Prize in the Nicolás Urcelay Singing Competition, a national competition in Mexico for tenors only. Other awards include the Francesc Viñas International Singing Competition, 38th Edition, in Barcelona, and a scholarship to study in Italy with the Ezio Pinza Council for American Singers of Opera (EPCASO).
