I'm with Jose' Madrid Salsa in The North Market, although I'm only there on Tuesdays. The rest on time I'm somewhere in the country promoting our Salsa. On any given weekend you could find me in New Orleans, NYC, Chicago, Philly, or where ever. I love traveling & meeting new and interesting people. Seeing other cultures and the way people live is an amazing thing to see. Any chance I get, I grab my camera and go.
As for my Salsa, we have won 5 national awards with our salsa. The Raspberry Salsa alone won best salsa in north america at the Fancy Food Show.
When I not doing the salsa thing I'm also a volunteer Big Brother, for which I've been for the last 7 years. I love working with kids, they are our true natural resourse.
Any body who can inspire me on any level. People say that and it's crap I want to meet someone who knows how to take care of themself, not eat at McDonald's 3-5 times a week. Someone who likes to get out and do something like travel, throw a frisbee or go Rollerblading. When I say inspire me I mean let's get off our lazy asses and do something, together. There's a broad World out there, let's go see it and enjoy it. Not rot in our little corner of the world cause that's just a waste of time and space. I don't expect everyone to be like this but this is just who I really want to meet.
“Do you want to know why I use a knife? You see, guns are too quick. You can’t savor all of the little…emotions. In their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way…I knew your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?”
