I'm a Mexican guy who comes from a Cuban-American family. My grandfather fought in the Cuban Revolution. I've been learning this after I decided to make a documentary about my absent father. This project has bring me amazing experiences, as creative and personal ones.

I am an university professor. I love teaching and share my laboral experience with younger people hoping to help them to develop their own careers.

I work as a freelance in advertising on the production of TV Commercials. I'm trying to leave this and dedicate exclusively to my own film projects that are the ones that brings the passion to my life.

I never want to stop hearing new stories, meeting new people and places, having a dialogue and laugh. My passion is there.
