Francisco Rivera

Born and raised in LA, I've found myself back in Pasadena as a pediatrician in general practice. Along the way, I took advantage of a life that let me see the world and take advantage of the most amazing sets of experiences: from working at an I Love Lucy gift shop to working on DNA research with the FBI to doing my thesis with Matthew Messelson at Harvard to playing the role of a traveling doctor throughout the US. I've been in Rio for Carnaval and Mardi Gras in New Orleans, seen the Hermitage and Mayan ruins. And, after a stint in Manhattan, I'm a closet New Yorker, but an Angelino through and through. "Life's been good to me so far..."
