Enrique graduated at the start of the Pandemic from the University of California, Davis. However, thanks to a failed startup attempt during his time as an Aggie he learned a great deal when it came to web development and digital marketing.
Armed with this he set out to help the local businesses in his area, revamp their online presence and capitalize on the online shift of consumer behaviors during Covid – 19.
However, at one point he realized if he wanted to bring true change to these organizations it would require him being a part of an organization that was performing at the highest level. So naturally he found a home at Four 15 Digital.
When Enrique’s not out supporting his teammates, clients or making corny jokes you can find him at your local Barnes & Noble buried in books, out of breath in the gym, sharing ideas on different social platforms, hosting workshops, creating videos, and perfecting his french toast recipe
