JC

  • Team Role/Function: Runner

  • How did you become a Castaway? Being in Mr. Pino's class as a freshman, we were introduced to the Castaways early on. I always thought it was a great cause, but had no way of participating as a student. Finally, in connecting with Gaston, I found out there was a running portion and I immediately jumped at the opportunity.

  • Why are you a Castaway? My grandparents lost the battle to different types of cancer. I do this for them and for those who are currently in the fight. God's blessed me with health and the ability to run, so I will suffer for a few days in honor of them.

  • What is your "essential gear" to be a good Castaway? Running shoes.

  • My Family: Married to my wife, Lizzie Fernandez and we've been together since senior year of high school. We also have a 2 year old, Javi!

  • Where are you from? Born and raised in Miami, but my parents are Puerto Rican/ Cuban.

  • Where'd you go to high school? Christopher Columbus High School - Class of 2013

  • Where'd you go to College/Grad School? University of Miami

  • Where do you work and what's your role there? Progress ShareFile. I am a Sr. Account Executive, selling to the Business Services vertical (Legal, Accounting, Consulting).
