On a mission to harness the power of nature while incorporating environmentally responsible practices — enabling production closer to our communities for a healthier food system.

Originally from Cuba, Alex immigrated to the United States in 1995 at age 23. His academic foundation came from the University of Matanzas — civil engineering, agronomy, and English — a multi-disciplinary blend that would later define his approach to sustainable agricultural engineering.
After 25 years of operating discipline across large-scale construction and infrastructure — including 11 years as President of Paar Contractors — he applied his engineering background to the food system, launching Organic Aqua Fresh on February 13, 2020 and engineering the proprietary Intelligent Aquaponics System (IAS).
Today Alex serves as President & CEO of Organic Aqua Fresh, Inc. — part of the ESA Organics family of brands.
