Thank you everyone for all the love on Coqui!! Really excited for what’s coming and to share it all with you…we are just getting started!

Spent an unforgettable day at with the family and some friends! It was one of those days you wish could last a little longer…so grateful for the time together and the memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime ❤️ #UniversalOrlando
Working on this Spanish project I’ve sure been busy and sometimes time just gets away from me and I forget to do my lesson…which I actually need for working on my Spanish project. Ironic, huh? It used to bum me out so much when I would lose my streak… But I just found out I can get my streak back!? 🤯 Heck yeah, thanks Duo!! 💚 Revive your streak of 30+ days by completing 3 lessons, now through June 30. #DuolingoPartner
Being their dad is the best job in the world…right after pizza chef 😉🍕Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!!
There’s no better feeling for a son than making your mother proud. My mom is 90 years old and has been waiting for this moment since I started my career. Seeing the joy this project has brought her is something I’ll never forget.
