Born in Madrid in 1931. At the age of 17 he entered the world of editing as an assistant to his brother-in-law, the editor José Antonio Rojo. From then until today, more than 200 feature films, television series, documentaries and commercials have passed through his hands. He has collaborated with directors such as Luis Buñuel, Carlos Saura, Francisco Regueiro, Basilio Martín Patino, Miguel Picazo, José Luis Borau, Rafael Moreno Alba, Álvaro Forqué, Fernando Palacios, Aldo Fabrizi, Jaime Chavarri, Paul Naschy, Miguel Littin, Luis María Delgado, Gerardo Vera, Julio Diamante, Antonio Mercero, Pedro Masó, Tony Leblanc, Manuel Mur Oti, Juan Estelrich, Vicente Escrivá and Manolo Summers, among others. He has been nominated on several occasions for national and international awards for his work as chief editor, being responsible for such important titles for Spanish cinema as: Viridiana (1961), Tristana (1970), Carmen (1983), El amor brujo (1986), Los golfos (1960), Atraco a las tres (1962), La gran familia (1962), Las cosas del querer (1989), Sandino (1990), La tía Tula (1964), Crimen de doble filo (1965), Llanto por un bandido (1964) or Pepita Jiménez (1975), among others. At the Escuela de Cinematografía y del Audiovisual de la Comunidad de Madrid (ECAM) he was an editing tutor for 13 years, as he had already been in his day at the long-missed Escuela Oficial de Cinematografía. He has also been a member of the board of directors of the Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas de España and is a regular speaker at workshops and conferences on his professional specialty.
