A writer in Basque born in Lerín (Navarre) in 1955, but resident in Pamplona since childhood.
After working as a construction labourer, crane assembler and, above all, orderly at the Ubarmin clinic, he began studying teaching in Basque at the age of 30. Since 1990, he has been a Basque language technician at Burlada Town Hall.
He has published the narrative book Desioen hiria (Pamiela, 1998), which contains two independent long stories. The first, entitled Rakel Beaumont, tells the story of a person who is born a man and wants to be a woman. At the beginning, it has a rather romantic tone, but then it turns into a story of intrigue. The second story, Apopiloetxea, introduces a man named Luis Korta who is in love with a non-existent woman. The two stories have in common that the main characters fervently desire something, and that the events take place in an indeterminate space and time. They are written in direct and effective Basque.
