Ricardo's Story
Life
Went to the Art Institute of Ft.
Lauderdale to study for my future
career in Advertising. Got married to
Maggie my on and off again girlfriend
from La Salle High School in 89.
Bought our first home in August of
92. Lost it 3 weeks later in Hurricane
Andrew. Moved back in 7 months
later. Had Stephanie(Daddy's little
girl) in 1994. Started working for Zubi
Advertising as a creative director in
1995 and spent six years there
working my ass off and traveling the
country(Be all that you can be...)
shooting television commercials.
Had my second child(Momma's Boy,
Noah) in 1999 and switched jobs in
2000 to Gold Coast advertising
working and traveling a little less
which has allowed me in 2001 to
pursue making my dream career a
reality as a commercial film director.
Had my third child in 2002, John Paul, our little surprise. 911 pretty much dashed my commercial directing career, but I made a short film and have been writing...Expand for more
and illustrating. In 2003, I switched jobs again, now working for a Motion Picture Camera rental house in the hopes that I will be able to direct more films and I'm working on a few original comic books due out next year.
Update: Left the camera rental house a few years ago and opened my own ad agency which is located in Coconut Grove. Been working my ass off and putting 3 kids through private school. My daughter turned 15 this year and is learning to drive.
Update: My kids are 19, 15, and 11 now and all amazing. I got separated from Maggie earlier this year. Things are going as well as you can expect. It's different that's for sure, but I've never been afraid of new beginnings. I also left my ad agency and have been freelancing from home. I run write, draw and publish a comic book online called Donnie Goth, donniegothcomic dot com and I am in a band. Maybe you might see me performing out there some day! Hope everybody is doing great. :)
