Son of Immigrants

I never check Google reviews, but love me a new small business. My karaoke song is Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. I'm a member of the Grand Cinema, and Monday night is Member Monday. There are 52 weeks in a year.

About Me

Dover, NJ

Look it up. Still 85% Latino, Latino-American. I'm proud to have grown up in an Ecuadorian household with a grandmother who worked her ass off. Went to school in Boston and discovered folks taller than I. Spent some time in NYC, Portland, OR, Chicago, IL, Denver, CO, and now I'm in my gardening era in Tacoma, WA.

Went to school to become a doctor and ended up recruiting amazing people for 13 years. Now, I work with small businesses. I'm a husband and parent to a Monster (cat) and a sweet Mango (dog).
