Desde que estaba por terminar la licenciatura en medios de comunicación, ya estaba involucrado en programas de radio y prensa escrita. Ingresé a Alvia Media en el 2022 y desde entonces mi perspectiva se enfocó en ofrecer contenido oportuno para los aficionados, esos que se apasionan en cada partido de su equipo, de los que sufren en cada derrota, pero explotan en júbilo con cada triunfo de sus colores. Mundiales con límite de edad, Copa Libertadores, partidos internacionales, finales de Copa MX y Liga MX, además de un sinfín de exclusivas respaldan mi trabajo y mi carrera en la que me he mantenido alejado de la polémica y el amarillismo, siempre con el objetivo de brindar la mejor información a los lectores.
