Quien soy?

I'm an emerging writer and first-generation American living a very typical, happily trivial first-generation American life in the Midwest. I make money creating ads for coffee companies and bicycles, and write in my second language whenever I'm not.

My day job earned me a ticket to the Emmy Awards once and my work has been passed around by Jimmy Fallon and Pee Wee Herman, who I can't seem to stop name-dropping. My fiction has been shared at The Target Performance Hall, The Loft Literary Center and has been published. I've co-written and co-directed a documentary. But still, my parents just wish I'd become a lawyer.

I live with the poet I married and our two children in a house that is painted orange. And when it's cold – which is often here – I fire up the skillet to make my mother's arroz tapado.
