Storyteller. Builder. Son of the Yakima Valley. I write essays on issues, life, my journey, and politics for readers on Substack, I make documentaries, I run a several businesses, I build software for small businesses and the trades, I develop brands, advise, and create. I am Mexican American, husband to one, father to six. Everything I make is rooted in the Valley I grew up in, in the mother I lost young, and in the belief that the people who do the hardest work are usually the ones nobody writes about.
