He was raised in the Barrio, where gangs were prevalent & a big influence in his surroundings.

As, he was raised, he went straight to work as a driver for a heavy equipment company. It was during his years of driving that he was able to go to all the Major Studios & delivering the equipment that would be used to film the Hollywood pictures that he admired. He got to witness the "Magic" first hand & appreciated the awe of how the making of films & episodics!
