I’m an Argentine-New Jerseyan storyteller living and working in Knoxville, Tennessee since 2011.

I was born in Bayonne, New Jersey to working-class immigrant parents.

Somehow, in a decade, I went from running copper pipe on weekends with my dad to using words like brand identity at work.

During and after my time as a plumber-in-training, I’ve worked in doggie daycares, as a janitor at a barbecue restaurant, a server at an ice cream shop, and a bill collector.

In 2015, my titles shifted as I emerged from graduate school into a life of paid writing. Since then, I’ve been a freelance journalist, public relations specialist, digital content manager, and communications strategist (whatever that means).

Currently, I work as the content marketing manager for the Global Supply Chain Institute at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where I’m also an adjunct professor of journalism and public relations. In 2011, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Latin American studies from William Paterson University; I added a master’s degree in journalism from UTK in 2015.

I am an active member of Redeemer Church of Knoxville, where you will occasionally see me playing the bass guitar, and a recent Centro Hispano de East Tennessee board member. From 2017–20, I coached girls’ travel soccer for Emerald Force Soccer Club but stepped away when my wife and I welcomed our daughter into the world. We now have three beautiful kids, who we plan to raise to play in the World Cups of their respective genders by the time they turn 18.

If you’re curious to learn more, write me. I’ll respond.
