He is a proud graduate of Janowski Elementary, Burbank Middle and Jefferson Davis High (currently named Northside HS) Schools.

He is actively involved with the League of United Latin America Council (LULAC), Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, Parents for Public Schools of Houston and Student Vote Project.
Currently, he works for the Astros Foundation as a Program Manager.
