He was born in New York as part of the Puerto Rican diaspora and grew up on the island, where he studied in public institutions, standing out in academia and athletics. His life experience in communities with limited resources forged his commitment to the educational, social and spiritual development of economically disadvantaged populations.
With more than 36 years of experience, he has led transformative initiatives in the Puerto Rico Department of Education, including the integration of technology in classrooms, Internet access, and teacher training in digital tools, all achieved through federal funds. He has also worked as a consultant in the pharmaceutical industry, designing employee training programs and managing resources to strengthen these initiatives. His social commitment has led him to participate in both local and international humanitarian missions in countries such as the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Colombia, bringing medical and social support to vulnerable communities, including those in the Amazon jungle.
From the Bravo Family Foundation, he leads innovative educational projects that impact high school and university youth, promoting an entrepreneurial mindset, economic development, and social justice in Puerto Rico. He is the first in his family to obtain a university degree, completing a baccalaureate in Electronic Technology Engineering, a master’s degree in Educational Supervision and two doctorates, one in Educational Leadership and the other in Philosophy. His training includes certifications in neuroscience, leadership and project management. His career reflects a deep commitment to youth empowerment, social equity, and creating opportunities to build a sustainable future on the island.
