I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and moved to the United States for college. I live with my wife, son, and five pound poodle in Connecticut. I started my journey in the theater as an actor when I was in the sixth grade, but nowadays I mostly work as a director and dramaturg. At Williston, I teach middle and high school theater courses, and direct the school plays and musicals.
