About Me

I’m the bassist for Mute Math (www.mutemath.com). That is my full-time gig and my passion. We constantly tour and experience the world. I’m also a writer, and one who likes to experiment in short fiction, particularly latino literature. That is the purpose of this site, i.e., a forum to display and read my works.When I use the term "latino," I reference a whole history of culture and art dealing with all that is Latin American, Hispanic, and Iber-American and how these cultures have shaped me as a North American. I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley: my mother is from México and my father is from Houston, TX. I’m literally a Mexican-American, and started writing fiction in 2002 in order to flesh out my issues of growing up in between these two worlds, between these two rivers, entre dos aguas, namely the Rio Grande and Mississippi rivers.
