Quit an office job to pursue wrestling. Originally as Patrullero ("Patrolman"), before changing gimmicks to El Medico I circa 1973. Wrestled multiple legends throughout his career, including Dr. Wagner, Fishman, & Huracán Ramírez.
Formed Los Medicos with El Medico II that same year on the advice of 'Butcher of Evil'; the promoter at Cuatro Caminos arena, Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. Allegedly quite popular with fans, despite being a rudo team. Toured extensively together through Mexico, always as a main event attraction (according to Zapata), up to & including for Arena Coliseo under Salvador Lutteroth I.
Lost his mask to Fishman in the 1980s, and adopted the Nacho Zapata persona. Won a version of the National Light Heavyweight Championship in a 30-man tournament by last defeating Ángel Blanco Jr at the Reynosa Coliseum.
Opened a wrestling school with Arturo Serna in 2003, with whom he also promotes events at the Reynosa Coliseum. Students include Magnífico, Pitágoras Jr., and Core. Retired in 2009 at Arena Juba, in one last tag match with El Medico II.
