Born in San German, Puerto Rico in 1969, I have had a journey filled with various life-changing experiences. It was meeting my wife in 1989 that truly transformed my life. She motivated me to pursue higher education, leading me to embark on a college journey I had never envisioned before.  

In 1990, while studying criminal justice, I began working part-time at Dolphins Cruise Lines. Little did I know that this opportunity would ignite a deep passion for the travel industry within me. As time passed, my love for the industry only grew stronger, and my experiences laid the foundation for an enduring career in tourism.  

Maria and I exchanged vows in 1992, and we are blessed with two sons, Anthony and Javier, along with our furry companions Ziggy and Marley. With over 31 years in the tourism industry, I have had the privilege of working for prestigious companies such as Dolphin & Majesty Cruise Lines, Travelodge Hotels, Florida Marlins Baseball Club, and Marriott Caribbean & Marriott Hotels, to name a few.  

In 2010, I took a leap of faith and founded my own social media company, which has since expanded to encompass a diverse range of services. Over the years, I have collaborated with domestic and international companies across various industries, forging valuable relationships and friendships along the way.  

The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges for me, particularly due to the scarcity of my ADHD medications. However, in September of 2021, Maria gifted me art workshop classes that had a profound impact on my life. Through painting, I discovered a powerful outlet for my ADHD, allowing me to express my emotions and gain a deeper understanding of myself. It has been a transformative journey, empowering me to embrace my ADHD as a superpower and share my authentic self with the world.  

I am deeply grateful for the love I have for my work and the incredible relationships I have cultivated throughout my career. Each day, I cherish the opportunity to make a difference and appreciate the support and connections I have formed along this remarkable path. During my 30+ years in the travel and tourism industry, I have had the opportunity to experience some of the most amazing and inspirational destinations in the world. Throughout those years my ADHD made it a challenge for me to express my experiences through words. With some art workshops and hours of practice, I have been able to use my ADHD to channel my visions of inspirations.

Join me I revisit some of my experiences and also incorporate some fun tools to create an unforgetable art experience.   

And a special thank you to Jacki Rosen from Rosen Fine Ars for opening my eyes to this amazing world of art.
