Born in Mexico City, Alfredo lived there troughout his education, enrolling in a school for tour guides established by the National Tour Guide Union & the Federal Government. During this time Alfredo also had the opportunity to learn English with American teachers at the Mexican American Cultural Institute (IMNRC).

With a desire to return back to tour guiding, he enrolled in the Tour Guides training course hosted by the state government of Michoacán and the National Institute of Anthropology & History (INAH) where he was able to specialize in local history and culture of Morelia and Michoacan.
