Before joining ReadyCT, Jose worked for a property manager where he managed all communications between stakeholders. He also served as a consultant on social media strategy for a church in Fairfield county. 

In college, Jose was the co-founder of a Christian nonprofit organization, where he led the operations, creative, and communication departments, focusing on the New England area. During that time, Jose and his team also managed, from start to finish, 35+ events with the participation of 100+ students and 80+ volunteers for each event. In addition, Jose received a full college athletic scholarship as a basketball player. He obtained his A.A. in business administration from ASA College (Brooklyn, NY) and his B.A. in marketing from the University of Bridgeport.

Jose is originally from Venezuela and taught himself how to speak English within five months of arriving in the U.S. as a high school student. Outside of ReadyCT, Jose enjoys going to the gym, playing basketball, and serving at his local church. Jose lives with his wife in New Britain, CT.
