I’ve always dreamed of living in Miami, and after gaining fame and facing difficulties in Colombia, I finally moved here about ten years ago. I now own restaurants and hospitality businesses in the city. My goal is to inspire others, having overcome challenges like jail, poverty, and drug addiction.

Miami feels like a vacation every day, thanks to its music, culture, and vibrant Latino community. I cherish the sense of security and quality of life here, enjoying activities like walking, biking, and watching the Miami Heat play.

Some of my favorite spots include La Industria Bakery & Cafe for guava pancakes and the Boricua burger, Osaka for sushi, Novikov for its personalized service, and Fiola and The Surf Club for pasta and fish. I prefer homemade arroz con habichuelas, which friends’ moms make for me.

Basketball is a daily routine for me, especially at Gibson Park. I also love spending time on my boat and riding motorcycles with friends around Wynwood. When I’m not enjoying Miami, I’m busy touring.
