I'm diverse & multilingual

I have a diverse background, speak english, spanish, elite and street.

This means I'm a creative chameleon who's as comfortable in the boardroom as I am out in the field.
Current Location: Sarasota Florida

I am a full blooded Puerto Rican whose parents moved from the island to Ohio just before I was born.

I grew up in a spanish speaking household, read/speak it fluently, and very much enjoy the dimension my heritage adds to my overall character.

Spanish

My words have been featured all over the internet.

I've driven millions of page views and contributed to:

I am also working on a book, occasionally write for my clients, regularly update my blog, and write daily inside an Evernote account that doubles for my brain...

English

I've worked on big media projects, handled celebrities, sat on boards of nonprofits and worked on countless civic initiatives/committees.

This means I know how to navigate carefully, negotiate effectively, and play politics when needed.

Elite

I've overcome adversity, know what it's like to come from humble beginnings, and don't take my current success for granted.

That means I'm as comfortable getting my hands dirty on the front lines as I am in the war room planning our next attack.

I think big, but understand the power of working small.

I'm a dreamer and a doer which means I can see the big picture while keeping the minutiae in mind.

I believe that building a better internet starts by lowering the barrier to entry and empowering creators to digitize and monetize their intellectual capital.

It's why I do what I do and why I've fallen for Webflow.
To follow the path that others have laid before you is a reasonable course of action. Therefore all progress is made by unreasonable men.

I'm comfortable on a big stage.

I'm a natural storyteller and I shine in the spotlight.

My mission for the last 7 years has been to evangelize the power of building community while explaining the importance of protecting the open web.

I would love a chance to start telling the Webflow story at scale while working to grow your community.

The Choice We Face

In this talk I discuss the growth of advertising and the choice we face as it relates to individual freedom and intellectual capital.

The Future of Sales: 
Understanding Information as a Currency

In this talk I explore the development of social selling and introduce some forward thinking concepts about how information is being positioned as the ultimate currency.

I'm well read and love to learn new things.

Most of the information I consume revolves around understanding humanity, what drives it, where we've gone right and where we've gone wrong.

More importantly I'm looking to learn as much as possible about how groups can most effectively work together in a digital age.

Here is a list of books I've read in the last two years. In no particular order.

I have a passion for sharing knowledge and teaching others

I believe that the best way to understand a subject is to teach it.
‍
To that end, I helped start (and still teach part of) a digital marketing course at University of South Florida Sarasota/Manatee campus. The accredited college level course is in the middle of its 4th year.

Other educational events I've organized include a web MeetUp, a professional development conference, and a hackathon for students.

I'm one of a kind and looking to take the next step in my career.

There might be other people who (on paper) seem more qualified than me, but (in practice) you'll be hard pressed to find a more capable candidate than I am for this job.
