My journey as a creator began in Gainesville while studying computer engineering at the University of Florida. I joined the local comedy scene and fell in love with performing in front of large audiences.
After getting my degree, I felt a strong pull to take a shot at being a full-time creator so I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting & comedy.
It didn’t work out.
Next, I did the “safe thing” and got a job in IT back in Gainesville.
Fast forward to 2016, I moved back to my hometown Chicago to start over. The city inspired me, I began traveling the world, and soon I got back to my creative roots.
I visited amazing places like London, Rome, and Paris. Exploring these cities renewed my passion to create a strong personal brand and I launched my YouTube channel in August of 2019.
My mission is to produce the highest quality hybrid YouTube travel series – blending food, inspiration, and comedy – and to diversify the online video space, bringing a Latino perspective to Travel Filmmaking (something that is all but missing).
My videos have been viewed over 3.7 million times and the channel has quickly grown to over 36,000 subscribers in a little over three years. I am now a full-time filmmaker and YouTuber and get paid to do what I love!
Peace!
