ABOUT ME

I was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala and lived in cities like Dallas, TX and Jersey City, NJ before moving to Vancouver, BC where I live today with my wife, son, and two dachshunds. Family is my greatest joy. Beyond all things tech, I'm passionate about photography, design, running, and football (of the soccer variety).

My work has always been at the intersection of technology, user experience, and marketing. Some of it has been noted by formidable publications like The New York Times, Entrepreneur, CNN Español, TNW, CMS Wire,  TWiT, SXSW Blog, and Product Hunt. 
 

I've been a speaker and panelist at conferences like SXSW, LeWeb, Marketing 2.0 Conference, Corporate Social Media Summit, CES, BlogWorld, Internet Week, DCM East, Gamification Summit, and more.
