Coach Laborin was born February 5, 1980 in Silver City, NM to Louie and Mary Laborin. He was raised for the next 18 years of his life in Playas, NM with his younger brother Tommy and younger sister Melissa. He attended Animas Public Schools all the way through his high school graduation in '98. He then attended Western New Mexico University on an athletic scholarship for football. Here he spent the next five years playing for the Mustangs and earning his degree in Occupational Therapy. While at Western he met his wife Sylvia Uresti, and they have been happily together ever since. They have two beautiful daughters, Jocelyn and Larissa, and a son Ruiz.

Coach Laborin is in his fifth year of coaching high school athletics. He started five years ago in Douglas, AZ as the Varsity assistant for the high school football team. He would spend the next two seasons and DHS coaching football and mid school basketball. Coach Laborin then moved back to NM where he received a teaching/coaching position with the Gadsden School District in Anthony, NM. At GHS Laborin began his career as a Special Education Teacher, he also was coaching varsity football as an assistant. After a year at GHS Laborin moved to Socorro, NM where he would spend the next year coaching football at the varsity level with an old college teammate. Coach Laborin then received an opportunity that he never thought would come up, the head football job at his old high school. So after only being in Socorro for a year Laborin decided to make the move back to his roots. Laborin is excited for the opportunity to be back in Animas and is planning to make a long career out of it.
