About the author

I'm a teacher, father, and storyteller fascinated by how big ideas shape little moments (and vice versa!). My work spans from whimsical children's tales to tongue-in-cheek historical parodies—always with a spark of adventure.

For Young Readers: The Capybara Adventure Series, where lovable siblings Carlos and Camila explore nature, solve fun mysteries, and learn about caring for our planet. Aimed at Grade 2-3 readers, these lighthearted journeys introduce curiosity, empathy, and environmental themes in every chapter.

For Adventure Lovers of All Ages: My comedic passion project The Lucifer Journals, a 70-volume saga in which a well-meaning cosmic observer (a.k.a. Lucifer) accidentally triggers humanity's major turning points—agriculture, armies, organized religion—often with chaotic and hilarious results. Each volume reimagines how human history might unfold if one well-intentioned meddler just couldn't keep his hands off the timeline.

Whether I'm teaching in a classroom, sharing bedtime stories with my own kids, or spinning a quirky alternative history, my goal remains consistent: to spark wonder and laughter, and to remind us that even the biggest adventures start with a single curious step.
