Sit back and enjoy your ride.

Being yourself goes a long long way.

Wow...that a tough one, I would say, the commaradie I had with the guys at MAXIM and ESPN, and our production staff,being asked CONSTANTLY to me making cuban coffee and our working lunches became open forums for anything current at the time.

Honestly? Getting up early in the morning...if you live in Miami, you'll know that traffic is UNBEARABLE, so us MAXIM guys, would come in at about 9:30 to 10 am to begin our daily fun at the office.

Putting out quality work in a relativly short amount of time. MAXIM en ESPANOL was a great breath of fresh air for our readers and we took pride in our work. Working diligently and working above and beyond the CALL OF DUTY to get our magazine in TOP shape, month after month. We at MAXIM were very adamant at getting as close to perfection as humanly possible. I miss it alot....

Working for TELEVISA PUBLSHING was very rewarding. My greatest achievement was having our Editorial Vice President, Irene Carol taking notice of my proffessionalism and body of work I was doing for the other publications I've worked on such as: TVy Novelas, Tu Dinero, Men's Health and of course MAXIM en ESPANOL. Working at Maxim was my most favorite, not only because we did a great magazine, but our staff was small and we became more than just co-workers, we became very good friends and that very rare. I still keep in touch with them. They're great people....

To sum it up with one word? Proffessional. Come prepared with your best work and best attitude and most of all hunger, have an appetite for the field you're getting into. Overcome and adapt to grow within a company betting on your talents. Accolades come when you put in your time. Paying your dues will always get positive comments from your peers....
