After 12+ years at Apple & Google, I pivoted (aka laid off) into an independent curator of culture based in Gilroy, CA.
Bridging the gap between arts, culture and wellness, I help facilitate and execute unique, cross-sector partnerships vital for programming success.

So Why Fúchila?
"Fúchila" is Mexican slang for "smelly".
In 2015, I founded Fúchila Fresheners, an iconic, international Chicano air freshener and nostalgic collectibles brand out of San José, CA that's been on Buzzfeed, Netflix, and Starz.
I became Mr. Fúchila. The name stuck.
