Duvis was a producer of vegetables in the community of El Cedral, Santa Barbara, but in 2008, because of the difficulties, decided to migrate to San Pedro Sula to work in a workshop. With what won in his work, managed to purchase a plot of 0.70 acres, in which there were three great rocks (hence the name of the estate). In 2011, with the help of his brother, he planted coffee variety bales. To his misery Duvis had an accident at work in 2012 to leave strong burns in his arm and so unjustly he was dismissed from work.
