With over 21 years of experience, I have produced, written, directed, edited, and hosted shows about music and culture, as well as producing, writing, directing, and editing for various video projects. I have co-founded and directed a theatre company, and composed and performed as a singer for 4 years.

the first bilingual (Spanish and English) live national entertainment network.
I’ve been a video editor for companies such as Netflix, TikTok, Sid Lee, InSync PLUS, VOX + Associates, and directed, written, and edited for companies such as My Name Is Cavale and Supermercado23 (directing
corporate videos, infomercials, music videos, and award-winning independent feature films).
I’ve also been a singer and composer for many bands and projects including Mermelada, Liquid Circus, Viva Malpache!, Spigga, SHU-SHO, El Quickie, The Holy Broken, The High Revival, The Dirty Lowdown, Suns of Venice, and Blanco&Junk. Releasing many albums over the years and touring the world.
I co-founded and was one of the directors of The Primitive Stage, a
black box theatre, dedicated to exploring established and new works of theatre, movies, and
music.
I have also produced, written, directed, edited, and hosted a weekly show about music and culture (Truck Stop Mixtape).
