My mother is of Dominican ancestry and my father is Ecuadorian. They were high school lovers, and got to working on me in 1985…hence the 23 ;) I majored in Communications with a concentration in Broadcasting. I was very close to completing a minor in Media Design but things didn’t work out. Hey, I got the experience under my belt which is never a bad thing. I held the position as Promotions Director as well as Radio personality while at my University radio station. For a while, I also did news casting. I pursue acting on the side, while at the same time trying to get a few modeling gigs. I have interned at one of the top radio stations in NY, WKTU which was a great experience for me. The staff there was incredibly friendly and I thank them for opening their doors to me. Growing up in the South Bronx I was lucky to have the parents I did. They kept me involved and active at a very young age. I have done a little karate, swimming, boxing, baton twirling, cheerleading, and modeling. I have also taken vocal lessons, and was a part of my high school softball team (I’ll tell you a little secret: we sucked!). If you’ve read my quote it’s something I actually live by. I feel that the smallest action can truly make a difference in someone’s life. I never judge a book by its cover. I may have a perception of someone because it’s human instinct, but will never judge them solely on that. I’m usually a good judge of character and can read right through someone. I am a very humble and grateful person who loves the fusion that NYC has to offer. I want to one day be able to give back to those who have always been there for me in every sense of the word. I don't care about material things because I feel it doesn't determine who you are. I appreciate a person’s humor, almost as much as I do their honesty and originality. I love a good laugh...and if it's coming from some attractive guy...I've hit the jackpot! I am a playful person, with a renewed heart. I am not one who gets embarrassed quickly. I admit to my wrongs and learn from them. I love learning new things. And learning something doesn't necessarily mean taking it all in on one shot. You can be wrong and as long as you have tried you have not failed. That's my view on just about everything. I’m extremely hardworking, and driven. I don’t get discouraged easily, which works out for me because in this industry you have to be thick skinned. I am very down to earth and enjoy the very simple things in life. I love my brother’s smile, my mother’s hugs, family get togethers, seeing a friend succeed, and watching people, and life itself unfold. I’ve learned to take things for what they are and never assume. I live my life on a day-to-day basis, and try to build at what I currently have while still having a vision of the future. Right now, I am trying to find my place in this extreme world and cultivate the seed that’s innately within me and so eagerly waiting to blossom.
