As one who always loved science and computers, it came as no surprise to family and friends when Rafael Chairez Jr. chose Information Technology (IT) as his profession. For more than a decade, he served as an IT professional working for Los Angeles County through the Penske Corporation and Johnson Controls. Chairez also worked as a technical consultant for ESPN, assisting in their coverage of the New Mexico Bowl and Las Vegas Bowl games. He currently provides network support services for Oak Paper Products, a family owned and multigenerational staple in Los Angeles since the 1940's.
Always a social person with a love of all genres of music, Chairez has organized and promoted American pop as well as Latino-inspired concerts.
