I attended p.s 94 elementary school and went to the same middle school as Tracy Morgan and went to Dewitt Clinton high school ( same as Ralph Lauren) where I overcame obesity, not to mention always being Bullied for my weight. I always loved fashion, music and TV / Film growing up, It allowed me to escape my harsh upbringings and the adversity I had to face being a Puerto Rican/ Dominican boy from the trenches.
