Jose is originally from Cienfuegos, Cuba, but has lived in Miami for the past 8 years and is now a US citizen. He was a former inline skate racer for Team USA and is now attending college with a focus on business. He has traveled to China, Columbia, and Europe and also organized inline skate trips to Cuba the past few years, with a focus on humanitarian efforts – bringing skates and gear to a country that otherwise would not have access to skating. He also is an avid cyclist and kayaker, so will be able to guide a variety of trips.
