He grew up in Compton, California where he gained a street and book education. Juan has been acting on stage since kindergarten. At the age of 12 years, he held his first video camera and it changed his life forever. Juan has been involved in Television and Film Productions since the 7th grade refining his camera and editing skills by producing wedding and quinceañera videos while studying along side Anthony Anderson at The Los Angeles County Academy of Performing and Visual Arts (A UCLA Extension Program). As a student at Compton High School, Juan headed the Television Productions while staying highly active in sports playing Football, Weight Lifting, Soccer, and running Track and Cross Country where he was soon given the nickname Rambo by his team mates. Juan was also a member of the famous Compton High School Marching Band where he played Trombone (First Chair). Juan was discovered by a talent agent while performing in a stage play at the "Little Theatre" in Compton College. While he thought he'd be a camera operator, he gave professional acting a shot, landing a roll in Kazaam on his first audition.
