Enrique’s Story

Enrique Aldana was born in Guadalajara, MX and moved to the US (Potsdam NY) at the age of 5. Later, he moved to Tucson in 1980, attended Amphi Schools and graduated from the Eller College of Business at the University of Arizona. Enrique is married to Katie and a father of two teenage daughters, Sophie and Marissa.

Currently, the Senior Director of Development at Arizona Public Media (PBS and NPR), his hobbies include cooking and photography. In 2021, at the encouragement of my daughter Sophie, I founded Yours Truly Notecards utilizing my photographs/artwork, originally to help raise funds for nonprofits, like Youth On Their Own and Benโ€™s Bells and now to continue my mission to give back through featured artists that can be found by visiting yourstrulynotecards.com
