Mario’s career started in newspaper and magazine print journalism as a freelancer and staff writer/editor for several Latino publications, monthly magazines, business journals, and industry-specific specialty publications. Prior to joining the CDA he served as the digital marketing specialist for an anti-ageism advocacy non-profit overseen by the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center (CNDC). He belongs to several online movie meetup groups, enjoys visiting museums, reading history, and playing tennis on weekends. As an honorary adopted Coloradan he has scaled one 14er (Mount Harvard); has visited Casa Bonita at least twice; and happily shares his weather insights with newly arrived residents. Despite being a fair-weather Broncos fan he has high hopes for incoming QB Russell Wilson. Mario has more cavities than he cares to admit but is proud of his imperfect but genuine smile usually found when engaging with dedicated CDA staffers.
