Your presentation was, by far, the most inspirational and heart-felt, truthful discussion that I’ve ever been a part of…I’m serious. Your thoughts on empowering young people by helping them become valuable citizens, no matter what their background, really was refreshing. Thank you so much.

José seems to me to benefit from having a strong moral compass that provides him a firm foundation on which to pursue the matters before him. He is not afraid to be forthright and direct but also seems open to genuine discourse. I think he is overall very well suited to engage a variety of audiences on issues concerning youth in the community.
