About Me


Cuban dude in Hollywood. Boston-born, Miami-Bred, Hollywood-bound. Writer/Producer, Director, Avid Editor, cigar aficionado and part-time United States Naval Officer.

I'm not going to pretend that anything I write here will make you really know me, because--let's face it--it won't. Stick around for awhile. It gets even better...stranger, more disturbing, perhaps, but better! ;-)
How I pay the bills:
