I was born East LA in the Barrio. Living in the city I got into a program called the Future Farmers of America and it gave me a whole different way of looking at life. We're riding rodeo Broncos we're working in Hollywood Taman and animals. And then With the TV series were popular where a lot of animals there was an opening to be a wild animal trainer at Africa USA and San Canyon, Newhall So I jumped up there.
