Armando Diaz Jr. is a native of north-central Honduras. Born in San Pedro Sula, Cortez, Honduras on January 8, 1977. His father Armando Diaz Sr., a native of a small rural village in the mountain country of east Cortez. His mother Alma Lopez (known by her pen name Alma de los Rios) is a native of the coastal Caribbean town of Tela, Atlantida. He (along with his parents) immigrated to southern California in 1979 when he was 2 years old, he is the eldest of four. The family was constantly on the move within the Los Angeles area, until they moved to New Orleans in 1989, where Armando could not help but “come of age”. The now Latin-American, Southern Boy with a West Coast edge began a love affair with the French culture and language, discovering an aptitude for languages and cultures in general. It was his fascination with architecture, particularly skyscrapers that led him to study Graphic Arts and Media in 1998. He was an active member of AIGA (founding his school’s chapter along with another student), before finally settling in South Florida in late 2001. He has a keen appreciation for all things music (in particular indie rock and jazz). And can be a walking encyclopedia when it comes to films. His writing style can be anything from whimsical to factual to deadly serious, as he is sought out for his opinions on everything from politics to entertainment. Recently he’s done voice over work for a local tribal casino with spots running currently on Telemundo, he’s challenged himself to a semester of Chinese at FAU-PBCC and aspires to become the next Annie Liebovitz in photography, and the next Hota Kotb in journalism. Currently, he’s an account manager for a Florida based graphics production company and is always on the lookout for new opportunities, adventures, and the spread of positive human energy within himself and the world around him. As of January 2012, Armando has relocated to Colorado Springs, CO.
