Off The Leash

Steven was raised on the West Side of Albuquerque. His strong feelings and love for New Mexico has kept him a resident for 44 years. In 1981 Steven pursued his love for performing at Eastern New Mexico University where he received his B.F.A in Theatre Arts. After returning to Albuquerque he found out very quickly that there were very few opportunities for Latinos in the Theatre Arts, so like they say, necessity is the mother of invention. Steven began writing plays for himself to perform in even though writing at this point was not one of his talents. Much to his disbelief his very first play was a huge success. "The First Chicano President" was sold out nightly. This motivated him to write four more plays with a great response. But if you know anything about Theatre in New Mexico, breaking even is the best a man can do. Money became an issue and he had to branch out to survive. In 1988 Steven started to pursue Stand up Comedy with great uncertainty, but again to his surprise, it was another lucky road in his life. Steven has been doing Stand up Comedy ever since and has performed all over the United States for many Comedy Clubs, Conventions, Organizations and has also been seen on TV shows like HBO's "Loco Slam" and Galavision's "Que Locos". You will soon see him in upcoming movies such as "First Snow" with Guy Pierce and "Beerfest" with the guys from "Broken Lizard". He is presently starring in his own movie "Homeless" which is now in post production. We are also happy to announce the release of his new comedy DVD "The Three Cochinos" in stores now. Coming soon "The First Chicano President".
