Born and raised in Brooooooooklyn, New York, my first story was a fanfiction of Duke Nukem 64. After that, I did most of my writing on the trains, headed towards Barnes and Noble or art supply stores or anyplace that wasn’t home, using sketchpads to plot stories and comics. Superheroes and anime influenced my early work, but as I age, I’m trying to reconnect with my Hispanic roots as well. I live in Ohio now, where I dream about subway tunnels, brownstones, and the Atlantic Ocean every night.
