Mauricio grew up in Dallas, Texas, where he worked as a math tutor and graduated from Coppell High School in 2015, according to his LinkedIn profile. After earning a bachelor's degree in industrial distribution from Texas A&M University in 2019 (where he and Alex met!), Mauricio went on to intern at PepsiCo as a sales intern before he landed his first full-time job as a consultant of customer experience at West Monroe Partners. 

In his spare time, Mauricio seems to enjoy traveling, spending time in nature, and snowboarding. In 2019, according to his Instagram page, he traveled to Peru where he hiked a mountain called Montana Winikunka. He went on to sail to Singapore, visit friends in Myanmar, and play with elephants in Thailand. Needless to say, it seems like Maurice is up for anything, and he clearly knows how to have a good time.
