Dato and his wife were born in Haiti. In 1970, he came to cut sugar cane in the Dominican Republic. Shortly after, he sent a gua-gua to bring his wife to join him in the new, prosperous country. They have been married for more than 50 years and now live with their 6-year-old grand child. Since retiring from cutting sugar cane, Dato weaves baskets that he sells in San Pedro de Macoris for 250 pesos each.
