Francisco holds a BA in business administration from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) and a post graduate degree in Marketing and Finance from Stanford University. He has completed the “Chief Executive Officer” MBA course at IPADE in Mexico City—an international program tied to, and involving professors and case study materials from Harvard Business School. Francisco Padua was a professor at the UNAM for six years (1969-1978), teaching various courses in Finance and Marketing for Graduate students, and also lectured at the Instituto Tecnológico de Mexico (ITAM) for two years, in the fields of entrepreneurship and finance.

These projects have ranged from retail and office centers in the Woodlands, Texas to resort styles houses and condominiums on Walden in Lake Conroe, Texas, and finally to the Woodhaven forest mixed community which will ultimately blend single family, medical and senior housing elements.
