He is the third child of four siblings. He has competed globally since the age of 12 in skateboarding event. In 2019, he repatriated to his family’s hometown Toa Baja, Puerto Rico where he chose to represent Puerto Rico in sporting events moving forward out of a deep love and admiration for his island, it’s culture and people.
