Often dubbed the “David Beckham of Polo”, Nacho was born in Buenos Aires and fell in love with horses at nine years of age and dreamed of playing polo professionally. He turned professional at seventeen and has since played all around the world and become the captain of the Black Watch polo team.
After being spotted by Bruce Weber at a dinner party, Nacho began modelling for Ralph Lauren. In 2009 he became the face of Ralph Lauren’s World of Polo fragrances and has been working with them ever since.
Nacho is a family man and he lives in Argentina with his wife, Delfina Blaquier and their four children. They run a successful horse breeding ranch and he has even tried his hand at writing, presenting a number of romance novels. Nacho’s rugged good looks have certainly captured the hearts of many women worthy of their own romances.
