José "Nía" Rivera Díaz is a Puerto Rican businessman and former politician. He was mayor of Trujillo Alto from 1977 to 1980.[1]

Rivera served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in southern West Germany in the early 1960s. There, he met and married Christa Schätz, a German woman. They moved to New York, where they begat Linda and Thomas (who became a Puerto Rican Senator and President of the Senate of Puerto Rico). In 1966 they moved to Puerto Rico and begat their daughter Sylvia.[2][3][4]
