As a member of the Small Schools Workshop, he was active in the 2001 hunger strike that lead to the birth of Little Village/Lawndale High School. He become the founding principal of Multicultural Arts High School (MAS), one of the small schools within LVLHS. He then served as an adviser on Latino education affairs in the Obama White House.
