Sucker of Life's Marrow
My history is derived from the cultural basket of Tampa's Cuban, Spanish, and Italian ancestry. As a third generation Tampeño, I was born into a family with rich cultural traditions, including ancestors who, through hard labor, helped make Tampa become known as "Cigar City".
I'm dedicated, high-intensity, and have a complete passion for my practice, but am really a fun-loving character who doesn't take himself too seriously most of the time, and who feeds off of interactions with a diverse array of people.
Most importantly, I am a lucky man who has been blessed with a beautiful wife, loving parents, remarkable friends, and Gabriel, the most special gift from God.
My zest for life and deep appreciation for my heritage fuel my daily interactions and professional endeavors, making each day a new opportunity to learn, grow, and give back to the community that shaped me.
