I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Where do I begin? I'm a proud Latino of Peruvian decent born and raised in NJ, that works hard and enjoys life. For me there is no better way to spend your time than with friends and family and sharing laughs, it is time well spent. I've been blessed to be able to travel to different countries and experience different cultures. And as always I enjoy music and dancing, but nothing beats going out to jazz clubs and hearing great live music.

When I was younger I was a martial artist and dancer. I trained in and taught Tae Kwon Do and while I was in college in Rochester, NY I was a member of the Borinquen Dance Theatre. I've been blessed to have some great people in my life and have the opportunities to meet and interview some amazing people since writing for the New York Post Tempo section (if your interested you can read some of my stories on my myspace blog).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm looking to find old friends that I lost contact with so we can catch up and talk about old times and pick up the friendship where we left off. If I get to meet new people off here I would like to meet people that have the same interests that I do.

People I would have wanted to meet are Charlie Palmieri, Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez, Machito, Mario Bauza, and Celia Cruz some of Latin music’s legends that help make it what it is today.

Below is my first video story for the NYPost.comBelow is my second video for NYPOST.COM. I think I did better the second time around.
