Government service, and local and national non-profit organizations.

Throw in stints as a jewelry vendor, a motorcycle courier, and an

airport shuttle driver, then top it off with bartending in a German

alpine-themed bar, and you might wonder when he had time to sleep.

Beach City College in 2021 with an AA in English. He is currently

enrolled at California State University, Long Beach, majoring in

Creative Writing.

He writes a weekly blog at antoniopedroruiz.com, called ‘On Second
