Biography

Born in Houston, Texas to Mexican parents, his parents migrated from Mexico to Texas. He served in the United States Marine Corps where he served there for five years before ultimately leaving it to focus on his law career. He studied political sciences at Vassar College, graduating in 2010; He graduated in 2014 with a law degree from the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City.

Since his teens, Gonzalez has been an advocate for socially disadvantaged people, and promoted the creation of NGOs. In June 2017, he created Football for the Future, a volunteer-run nonprofit that hosted a free, annual summer camp in the Tulsa area, aiming to provide low-income Oklahoma kids with free soccer and educational programs. The summer camp ran from 2017 to 2019, and had plans set for 2020, but announced its cancellation in May 2020 due to an increasing number of COVID-19 cases among the community. As of May 2025, the nonprofit's status is unknown. In October 2019, he established the Detained Refugee Solidarity Fund, with the purpose of supporting migrants and refugees detained in ICE detention centers for his benevolence, writing letters to those detained and using the funds raised from the Detained Refugee Solidarity Fund to send US$ 15 alongside the letters, enabling detainees to contact their families.

Currently, he is a social media content creator, posting to a combined 4,875 followers across TikTok Instagram, and Facebook.
