Bio:

Born in Cuba in 1963, Ulises moved to the US in 1977 where he settled in Houston and has considered Texas "home" ever since. 

In 2006 Ulises created his own restaurant concept called Eden Café. But while he carries hospitality in his veins and loves what he does, he also has another passion for telling stories and acting. Ulises has been blessed to work in faith-based films and TV series glorifying God with his gifts. Ulises lives in Texas with his wife and children.
