Menace was born in Redwood City, CA in a predominantly latino neighborhood adjacent to the biggest tech hub in the world, Palo Alto, CA. Early musical influences included Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tupac before moving across the Bay at age 13. With a new set of friends, Menace was exposed to bands like Nirvana, Green Day, Offspring and EDM music. He was introduced to skateboarding and videography which was life changing for him. After submitting his skate videos to the Academy of Art University, he received a 100% scholarship to join their summer program. While studying in San Francisco he was contacted by iHeartRadio’s #1 morning show on Wild 94.9 KYLD to produce video. He quickly got on-air and the videos he was creating were so popular they often crashed the company website and servers nationwide. In 2006, Menace joined CBS Radio and met The Woody Show who had signed on to replace Howard Stern. The first video he produced for them reached over 800 million views and got global attention. On top of on-air and video, Menace has always been an early adopter of social media. He was the first to put a radio station on Youtube and Twitter in the US. Ford Motor Co. named him one of 100 most socially connected people in America in 2009 & 2013. During that time, he hosted a number of shows including his own morning show on LIVE 105.3 in San Francisco (sister station to KROQ). He also cut a deal with CBS that allowed him to work for the podcast startup, Stitcher Radio, as a growth hacker. CBS promoted him to Social Media Director for the entire San Francisco cluster. In 2014, Woody called Menace and asked him to rejoin the show in Los Angeles. Within a year and half, The Woody Show overtook KROQ and became the #1 morning show in LA and Orange County. Soon after, iHeartRadio put the show into syndication and worldwide on the American Forces Network.

Thank you for taking the time to read/check out all this information! I know being a sales person isn’t an easy job and I’m here to help. All I ask in return is to be extremely well versed about any client we deal with together. I’ll always do heavy research before taking any meetings and go above and beyond for client retention. If you are still reading this I did leave one fun fact out about my work history. Between radio jobs at iHeart & CBS I worked at a pirate themed gift shop at Pier 39 in San Francisco. So lets just say I’m grateful to be here & want to make it as easy as possible for us to close deals together!
Client categories I would love to work with: Home battery systems and anything solar (I have solar with Vivant Solar by Sunrun), electric car charging accessories and stations, pool builders, fast food pizza and burger chains, electronic stores, furniture stores, GYM and fitness (need to lose weight haha), movie theaters or streaming, coffee chains or at-home coffee makers, home blinds, home closets, haircut chains, hotel chains, home security , event ticket sellers (ie. Gametime, Seat Geek), Health services (ie. FORWARD, One Medical), motor sports stores, grocery ghains, fresh pet food, artificial grass, home builders.
Menace has a weekly podcast called “What’s New Pod”: This is a great place to get extra mentions for clients and promote events. “What’s New Pod” has done countless on-site live recordings at Lazy Dog Restaurants, Morongo Casino, Wynn Casino and Big Bear Mountain sponsored by Jack Daniels. The podcast has also been sponsored by DC Shoes. The podcast consists of three ex-Woody Show members and two current members with good mix of perspectives. Two now work at the NFL and one at Fan Duel. To take a listen click here! (This podcast is mostly added value & bundled with The Woody Show podcast)
Can you take advantage of this sales opportunity?: Menace is the co-founder of Diego Hot Sauce thats been a hit with everyone who has tried it! Can you make the hot sauce available in store or in a chain restaurant? It was available for a limited time at Grocery Outlet on the West Coast and sold out right away. Grocery Outlet even did an on-air buy promoting that the hot sauce was available in stores (which was the plan). The video you see in my meet up events at Grocery Outlet centered around giving away Diego Hot Sauce. Didn’t watch the video? It’s okay: click here
