Author; editor; workshop facilitator; occasional poet.
I’m an author, thought leader, and cultural consultant with over thirty years’ experience in the creative sector. I’ve seen the arts and culture world from various perspectives and points of view: as donor, author, musician, photographer, fundraiser, book editor, program manager, festival planner, technology strategist, public relations liaison, social media influencer, and exhibit and literary program developer. I’ve been interviewed on television and print news outlets based on this and was awarded for my contributions to Latino literary heritage by New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer in 2014. I live and work in the Bronx, where I was born and fell in love with the arts as a boy.
