Personal Life

Someone offered him an old film camera to capture a group photograph in high school.[2] To Rodriguez, placing everyone in the proper spot, selecting the correct point of view, and then hitting the button to memorialize the moment was just like learning a new skill. Visual art became an instant love for him, which he would later turn into a profession.

He then enrolled at Broward Community College in 2003 and graduated with an AS in Emergency Medical Services and an AA in Nursing. Rodriguez graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a bachelor's degree in Film & Video and a minor in Photography in 2009.[3]
