Born in the city of Mexico to a Dominican political father and a bohemic mother from rural Mexico. Raised in New England from the age of 5 years old. Attended the university of Massachusetts in Amherst, and became a primary school teacher before a husband and father of three.


Film came into my life after leaving the theater from watching George Lucas’s The Return of the Jedi. I was hooked with the dream of making movies, and playing characters for the rest of my life. I can write a feature script as to why I didn’t pursue my film ambitions institutionally throughout the span of my time, but I can tell you, that I’ve never derailed fromcreating my film ideas into realities.

I just finished my first “real” film at the age of 45 from desperation. I’ve had this idea and made some connections with established film makers and constant artists, but at the last minute they withdrew, others went in half way and ultimately, after a year of developing my character in “A Long Lived Obliquity”, I became determined to finish what I finally started even if it would mean forcing my 15 year old and 20 year old help me film and act in this short.


I’ve been filming my life for decades, which ultimately, revisiting 120 hours of mini DV tapes, to find less than a minute of needed visuals and audio, gave our film the needed emphasis to magnify our truths. I’m proud of what we made, and believe it can speak volumes to a public struggling with themselves, and the challenges family and civil obedience demands of anyone looking for inner peace.
