President Guzmán was born in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, México, where he initiated his academic career. After completing his studies at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary of Mexico City, he began an extensive career as an itinerant conference speaker, traveling throughout Mexico as well as Central America, Europe and the United States.

An equally long path of graduate investigation and research eventually led him to studies of evangelism in Amsterdam, missiology in Atlanta and theology in Houston. He is currently a doctoral candidate in theology at the John Calvin University in Mexico City, Mexico.

An author of important published works, President Guzman has written Siguiendo a una Estrella , and Campanas del Recuerdo, as well as a Biblical commentary on the book of Esther. For his Divinity degree he wrote a prize-winning thesis, La Iglesia Evangélica a Cuatro Siglos de la Reforma Protestante: Líderes, Obras y Dilemas (“The Evangelical Church Four Centuries After the Reformation: Leaders, Works and Dilemmas”), and for his Master’s, La Dignidad de los Ancianos de la Iglesia: Principios de Liderazgo Cristiano (“The Dignity of the Office of Elder: Principles for Christian Leadership”). He is also a translator of equally significant literary works, having translated A Christian Critique of Art and Literature , by Dr. Calvin Seerveld (translated as Una Crítica Cristiana Sobre el Arte y la Literatura), as well as The Elder’s Handbook, by Dr. Lester De Koster (El Manual de los Ancianos) and others.

His pastoral ministries have been held primarily in the cities of Toluca, Chicago, Houston and in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, where he is currently senior pastor of Dios con Nosotros PCA. In 2005 he was named Rector of the Seminary, and in 2006 the President of the institution, as well as Vice-Chairman of its Board of Trustees.
