After flunking a test in college, by pure error entered an audition, for a low budget zombie film. Two week later, he got a part in that film. Casting for other films continued, which brought opportunities while doing background work. And so did the training in Film production/theater arts. Four years later, he was the lead in a campaign for AXE Hair. This commercial was aired in Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Mexico. That same year of graduation from the School of Mass Communications and Drama, his next biggest audition was in IMTA Los Angeles 2010. He won 1st Place on the T7 SITCOM Category.

After three intense years of training and work in Los Angeles, he decided to go back to Puerto Rico. He always had in mind being a character actor. He's experience is mostly in TV and Film.

- I try to communicate universally with the world through photography.
- I rather shoot a person with a camera than with a gun.
- I'm a fan of films from James Cameron, Christopher Nolan and Stanley Kubrick.
- Till this day, I enjoy cinema with my father.
- I would say the hardest challenge is, dealing with the noise of business. In the beginning, many people will say the following cliché phrases: "you're a dreamer, you're not gonna make it, get yourself another job". I decided on ignoring negative comments and just following my heart. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but it was worth trying.
