After studying marketing, journalism and film, he graduated from the University of Dayton in Ohio in 2005. After writing for several US-based movie blogs, Francisco decided to create the Puerto Rican website CineXpress in 2011. Since then Francisco has worked as film critic, entertainment journalist and commentator for top local TV shows like “Ahora Es” on Univision PR, “Primetime” on ABC Puerto Rico, and Todo Tampa Bay (Florida), top local newspaper El Vocero and top local radio stations Fidelity 95.7 FM, Hot 102.5 FM and Sal Soul 99.1 FM.
