First off I would like to welcome you guys to our company Colorado River Cabinets. My name is Roberto Urias Martinez I was born in Mexico Baja California ever since I can remember I dreamed of becoming a carpenter I loved it because it was so beautiful and artistic. One day when I was 14 I was really mad at my mother Alma because I wanted to go to prom but according to her I wasn’t at age but all I wanted to do was to listen to music and have lots of fun dancing, which I was really good at by the way just like my mom she was really into rock ‘n’ roll so you know that household was dancing all the time .
Being mad at my mother I left the house to and I decided to go to a friends house for that night. That friend was the DJ for Prom anyways later that night I went to prom I had lots of fun and I danced so much I was sore the next day. The Day after prom I decided to go look for a job and I wanted to see if I had a shot at being a carpenter and so I asked the best man in town for Carpentry Martiniano who they called “El Surdo” around town, the only reason why he gave me a shot to work at his Custom Cabinet Shop was because he knew my family and didn’t know I wasn’t living in my house. Another day goes by and my mother stops by at my friends place and tells me to go back home because I’m just a kid and I said sure but with one condition, and that condition was that in order for me to go back she needed to let me work and do school at the same time.
Fast forward a couple of years with working with Martiniano I left and decided to come to the United States. Around this time I was only 20 and I worked at a El Palacio Mexican food with the owners Isabell and Gilbert Serrano. Back in those days talking to Gilbert he gave me the opportunity to do small stuff for him because I didn’t really want to keep being a waiter and in trying to continuing my dreams I told him I’m a Carpenter and to give me a chance to show you that I am one. To my luck he said yes I started small to eventually doing big things for him like doing the Palacio’s furniture including tables chairs and all Mexican designs and I ended up doing all of his restaurants at the end. In total I did all 5 of his restaurants for 5 years, I exclusively only worked for him, I wasn’t open for the public yet. When I was done with his work he told me it was my time to open my own shop and show the world my talents and I said how if I don’t know I have money or an idea on how to open it and he said all the tools all material and everything there was now mine, he also told me he would put the shop under my name, he told me I would need to work harder too because his first house was now going to be mine as well, I was speechless I couldn’t believe it, my dream of also having a home would also become a reality, my wife Angelica and I were going to be able to have our first Kid Angel in our own home as a family. And thats was how my life started in the United States from a lot of success thanks to Gilbert Serrano’s family help and God who has always blessed me along the way.
Fast forward now I have two more boys by the names of Roberto and Mateo. Thanks to my business I have been able to work with amazing people like; Don Laughlin, Aquarius Casino, Harrahs, St. Margaret Mary Church, and many contractors.
