In my own words
I am an older brother, a father and a devoted husband. Although I am now a 30-something year old living in Connecticut, I was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to the United States (New York City) in the early 90’s. Since then I’ve completed a career in the United States Marine Corps, earned an MBA in business, and learned a few lessons along the way.
I currently work in the public sector overseeing asset management/compliance. My other job/passion is being a business owner with my wife Raquel. We own and operate Woody Things, an online wooden crafts store (check it out!).
Yes, I am a common man with common interests. I enjoy watching professional Football on Sundays (or Mondays, or Thursdays.. or every so often, Saturdays lol) Go Giants!; I spend free time working on cars (currently building an early 90’s Ford Mustang); and I enjoy mixed martial arts (I love Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and competed on the amateur circuit for a few years).
As an American veteran I feel there is much work to be done to empower and assist our returning vets transition back into civilian life. As such, I work hand-in-hand with Devil Dog USA, Inc. to make sure our vets get the assistance they’ve earned.
