I'm a comedian, writer, and speaker focused on telling stories that matter. I'm the co-creator and co-host of Spotify Original podcast "Identity at Play." I'm the creator and host of two shows on SoulPancake digital shows, and a Hyundai-sponsored travel show about sustainability. As a comedian, I've opened up for people like Colin Jost, Tim Meadows, and Bo Burnham. I've done stand-up in over 20 states in comedy clubs, festivals, theatres, and barns. 

​

Currently, I'm the comedian-in-residence at Generation180, a nonprofit working to equip people to take action on cliamte change. With them, we created the Climate Comedy Cohort where I'll be leading a first-of-its-kind network of comedians who will come together to learn, create new comedy informed by the latest climate science, and take their work on the road in a series of live shows, short-form video, and other funny content.

I speak, both silly and serious, at middle schools, high schools, colleges, comedy clubs, and conferences. I've lived a few lives: previously, I taught creativity at the college level. I co-wrote a book on creativity. I ran a school in the off-the-grid jungle. I was COO of an entertainment tech company focused on diversity in Hollywood. I was the star of a TV show that aired on VICELAND and A&E. 

​

I'm the son of two Colombian immigrants and grew up in Puerto Rico and the suburbs of Chicago. I currently live in LA. That 's it. You now know everything about me.
