Who I am
My parents fled Guatemala (dad) and Honduras (mom) in 1972 and a year later I was born in Washington DC. I grew up playing soccer in Montgomery County, Maryland and got my BA in History from Univ. of Maryland at College Park. Eventually, I ended up at CNN and worked my way up to Field Producer. After 12 years I left to go to film school and graduated in 2011 with an MA from American University. During that time I met my wife and after I graduated I moved to Hong Kong to be with her. While there I freelanced as a producer and coached soccer. In 2012 I became the Multimedia Editor for the South China Morning Post. In late 2015 we moved to the Bay Area and in 2018 I became the Senior Digital Video Producer for ABC7/KGO.
I have produced breaking news and feature stories from all over the world including Honduras, Iraq, Peru, Hong Kong, and Myanmar, as well as numerous US presidential and congressional elections. In my current position at ABC7 in San Francisco, I produce, film and edit feature stories for the Premium Content team about underrepresented communities in the Bay Area. I am inspired by the people I do stories on and the people I work with, as well as by my aunt, assassinated Honduran rights defender Berta Cáceres.
I love photography/cinematography, playing and watching soccer, our two dogs (Luna & Guapo), and going camping/hiking with my wife and son.
