About Me

About me? Well, I guess I'm just a motivated Chicano from Denver. I am a recent college graduate (finally) and I'm living out my dream of being a newscaster. So far I've been blessed to work as a play-by-play / color commentator for minor league baseball and currently I am a news anchor and reporter here in Wyoming. I love music, sports and life. I have an awesome family and a great network of friends. Being from Texas, I'm a country boy at heart. I'm open to new people and I'm always looking for new friends so hit me up!

My Interests

My two main passions are sports and culture. I've always been involved in sports whether it was as a player, official, coach or now as a broadcaster. I also try to stay involved in the Chicano community, especially with Chicano youth. Gotta give back you know? I'm always open to learning and experiencing new things though so hit me up!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that enjoys life and experiencing new things

Music:

I love all things music from All, The Descendents, Alice in Chains, The Misfits, Ozomatli, Motley Crue, Mana and the Kumbia Kings, to The Rat Pack, Michael Buble, John Mayer, New Edition, George Strait, Los Lonely Boys and the all time best METALLICA. If there's music playing you can count on me being there. I'm also play drums.

Movies:

Swingers baby! Made (if you've seen it you are cool in my book), Top Gun, Blood In Blood Out, Wedding Crashers, American Psycho, Major League, Van Wilder, any Kevin Smith movie, any horror...

Television:

ESPN, ESPN, ESPN!!! Anything and everything sports. Entourage is another favorite. Nip/Tuck rocks. I'm a big fan of almost anything on Comedy Central too. If you're in Colorado, look for me on Altitude Ch. 25 on The RMAC Showcase

Books:

Message To Aztlan, The Making of a Chicano Militant, American Psycho, 4th and Fixed, The Crusade for Justice, Who Stole My Cheese, Calvin and Hobbes (yes I know I'm a nerd), Season on the Brink etc...

Heroes:

The greatest man I've ever known... My Grandpa John Castillo, My family in general inspires me to be a better person everyday of my life, My Mom is my rock, My Pops is a great father and friend and My little Bro is my other half... that kid is my reason, Corky Gonzales, Caesar Chavez, Che Guevara, Dolores Huerta... all visionaries
