Bio
My acting career started when I was in high school. I did two years of UIL One Act Play competition, and I was hooked. I took Introduction to Theater and Acting 1 while attending San Antonio College. At the University of Texas at San Antonio I took Acting 1 and 2. While at UTSA, I did a few performances for one of my Mexican American Studies classes, which resulted in my starting a teatro group. I was able to direct a few of our performances as well. I have done a medical training video, as a patient, as well as been an extra, and a principal, on several commercials. I have also been an extra on a few films, while obtaining a speaking role on a low budget film.
I have been doing promotions since April 2005. I have done a wide variety of promos, from brand ambassador to product specialist, from Atlanta to San Francisco. I have only had the opportunity to manage one event; however management is not a problem nor is it an obstacle for me.
I wish to do voice over however, I have no work experience in this area. I also wish to gain more television and film experience. I have done some print work in the past few years, as well as work with a few photographers, some for time for print work. I would also like to gain more experience in print work.
I obtained two Bachelor of Arts degrees in English and Mexican American Studies from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I went on to obtain a Master of Arts degree in English from Texas A&M University at San Antonio.
I have been self-employed since 2002. I went to bartending school and have been working bars and private parties since 2002. I prefer private parties as they seem to be more of a celebration and not just the bar scene. I also started to help people move since 2004. I have tried doing the full blow moving company, but I don’t have access to a full time truck, so the DMV made us stop renting trucks from Budget. So, right now I only provide moving services.
I am currently a single grandfather, living alone. But, I have been married twice. I am a widower and divorcee.
I can’t remember when I started to write poetry, but I think I started doing it to express my feelings. I can’t always express myself vocally, but if you give me time to think I can find the words to express the way I feel. For years I wrote about how I felt, but I wrote for myself. I never intended to let others hear or read what I wrote, unless I wrote the poem for someone. A few years ago I let a high school classmate read some of my writings because she knew about my first wife passing away and she was helping to put a book together to help raise awareness for mental health. After a lot of persuading I reluctantly let her read my writings and they actually picked a piece to publish in the book. A part of me felt odd about it, because it meant others were going to read what I wrote. But, I figured that if it could help someone, then it would be worth it. Ever since then, I have been open to letting others read my “poetry.” I never really wrote to rhyme, but have attempted to write in rhyme, so some of the poetry I wrote does rhyme. I’m not saying it’s good, but it rhymes. To me, it doesn’t really matter if people like what I wrote, because it is how I felt at the time. But, if it can help someone deal with whatever they are dealing with, then I will be happy.
