After a copywriting career that saw him work in the Caribbean and the Far East as well as the US, Carlos Vazquez returned to his alma mater—Miami Ad School—in mid-2001 for a brief teaching stint before moving on to his next posting. As fate would have it, he never left. These days, Carlos helps founders Ron and Pippa Seichrist run the school that, once upon a time, changed his life. “Nothing beats the reward I get from teaching and passing on what was given to me. Seeing the students progress from their first tentative steps to confident professionalism is what it’s all about.” Besides tormenting cub writers, Carlos enjoys phlebotomy, incense-making, macrame and—his first love—writing about himself in the third person.
