CURRENT MISSION

To Live My Legend & Help Others Do The Same

ABOUT ME

With a background in sociology, I'm an American social entrepreneur who is developing a gamification app (WeUp) that helps people be accountable for their life goals. To add value to my app, over the past 2 years I've done behavioral research in 21 countries and 42 cities.

PHILOSOPHY

"What are we willing to give up to become who we want to be?" I believe the crises of our time be they economic, social, or political are tied to humanity not knowing how or unwilling to sacrifice luxury for the freedoms/goals we desire. I believe that Sacrifice = Change€... So if the world is going to get better I encourage you to Live Your Legend by asking yourself what am I willing to let go of to become who I want to be."

Algo increíble que he hecho

When I was in college In 2005, I founded a charity basketball game (“The Old School New School Game”) that over a 12 year period has exposed more than 10,000 students from Chicago Public Schools to tours of DePaul University and college preparatory workshops. The program still is running today and I'm very proud of it.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can cook a number of Afro Mexicana dishes. Also I'm a Physical Trainer who loves to motivate people. I have a large English vocabulary so if anyone is looking to improve their English I'm talker and can help you out. For those who who love Hip Hop and African American culture I'm well educated in the history and music African American Peoples created (Blues, Jazz, Rockin & Roll, R&B Hip Hop). And when I'm around women I'm an expert in opening doors, picking up heavy things and taking out the trash.. NO women touches trash on my watch!
