"Small businesses are the heart of our local economies, that is why my life’s work revolves around empowering immigrant and folks of color to leverage entrepreneurship to create vibrant communities and build wealth for their families."

Aldo oversees Craft3’s Business Services and Commercial Intake Programs. He leads a team of passionate individuals to support clients and meet them where they are. Growing up in a working-class neighborhood where people were often unfairly impacted by systemic barriers, he developed a passion for helping immigrants and other people of color learn how to build assets and generational wealth.

Outside of work, Aldo enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, hiking, camping, and making home-cooked meals. He is an immigrant and is proud of his Mexican heritage and looks forward to sharing it with his daughter as she grows older.

Prior to joining Craft3 in 2021, Aldo worked with Hacienda CDC as the Mercado Programs Director and a Business Advising Program Manager. He grew up in the San Gabriel Valley in the City of El Monte, CA. Aldo is a proud 2019 NALCAB Pete Garcia Community Economic Development Fellow and a 2024 LIDERAMOS CCL Latino Leader Fellow.
