I try to live a humble life.

But when you design an elite quiniela board like this, you can’t help but to feel the constraints of that humility.

By the way, this is the fight where one of my favorite things in world just happened.

A Mexican with a couple of loses on their record, is brought to England to fight an undefeated British champion, and they come back with a title belt.

Long before I started working in media, my biggest enemy in every city I’ve lived has always been one particular person on local tv station

They never knew me, but I knew all I needed to know about them by they way they did that pumpkin patch story

Photo of Tigres forward Gerónimo "Patrulla" Barbadillo on a pitch. Barbadillo is wearing a yellow Tigres kit with a blue band around the center with "TIGRES" in yellow letters with a blue in-line and a large blue "U" with a yellow in-line on the left side of his chest. An Afro-Peruvian, Barbadillo's nickname "Patrullo" was given in honor of Link, the character on the television show "The Mod Squad" who wore a similarly large Afro. Underneath of the photo is the caption "I'm proud to be part of this legend. Tigres fought from the heart. We gave everything (we had) on the field. Tigres was the path that took me to Europe." Gerónimo "Patrulla" Barbadillo, 1977-78 and 1981-82 Tigres Champion, Primera División Golden Ball Winner 1981-82. In the bottom right corner of the graphic is Tigres' rectangular logo, with TIGRES at the top, UANL at the bottom, and a yellow U with a tiger's face between the two wordmarks. Underneath of that it reads "Celebrating Black History Month"

One of the things I'm proudest of is designing, pitching, and executing the #BlackHistoryMonth campaign for Club Tigres in 2024. Tigres was looking for ways to connect with fans in the United States, and I knew Black fans of the club and that no other Mexican club was doing anything...
