Get to know him inside…

1. I’m technically a professional skateboarder… on paper. I booked a skateboarding job and they signed me on as a pro. I love skateboarding, it was something I grew up doing all my life. And still do till this day.
2. Growing up in the Dominican Republic, I was surrounded by photography through family members. Because of this, there’s a natural sense of photography in me. Sometimes I’ll catch myself taking photos and everything just slows down. It’s a hobby I privately enjoy.
3. I grew up playing sports all my life, football, wrestling, track, you name it. I was even a wrestling champion in New Jersey. Nowadays, I can even force myself to watch the Super Bowl. I guess I’d rather play than watch.
4. I can recite all of JERSEY BOYS, it was my favorite play growing up. I could sing it for hours.. not good. But definitely with passion! That’s when I would imagine actually performing on a stage, or just performing anything general.
5. I don’t like raisins. Boring fact, but it’s true.
6. I can eat chocolate anywhere, anytime.
7. I love all cars — so much so that I didn’t mind driving 16 hours to go pick up my dog once.
8. I’m a homebody, I don’t really like going out. I think a small gathering with my closest friends & family is all I’ll ever need.
9. I lost nearly 70lbs pounds prior to the pursuit of my acting journey.
10. I am still with my high school sweetheart.
