Bio

Jesús Omar Rivera Dávila, known as "El Boricuazo," was born on January 16, 1962, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He is a well-known educator, writer, and media personality celebrated for his extensive knowledge of Puerto Rican culture and history. Rivera gained prominence through his engaging presentations on television and radio, where he shared lesser-known facts and stories about Puerto Rico, fostering national pride. His book, "Boricuazo: Tu Orgullo Nacional," compiles these insights and has become a valuable resource for those interested in the island's rich heritage.
