Gathering material from a wealth of life experiences, Jose takes audiences on the rollercoaster ride that's been his life. Born in Cuba and deported because of his father's political prisoner status, he came to the U.S. at a young age. He made his parents proud when, after high school, he was accepted to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado. He became an officer in the Air Force, is an accomplished aviator, and is a veteran having served in Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. He's even been shot at in two countries.

His comedy career started out in New York and Philadelphia, getting on stage anytime he wasn't serving. He performs all over the world now and is an audience favorite for his ability to make deportation and life-threatening moments hysterical. He's been featured in the Air Force Times, and in 2011 was the winner of the Rocky Mountain Laugh Off in Salt Lake City, UT.

He's been seen on CNN, CBS, Fox, and Lifetime's "Coming Home" with his touring group The GIs of Comedy. He was the co-host of NUVO TV's "Stand Up and Deliver" which aired three seasons, appeared on FoxTV's "Laughs" in two seasons as both a performer and host, and was recently featured on NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly." Most nights you can find him on stage somewhere — but one week a month it's all dog tags and volleyball, down in Texas, teaching the next generation of top guns the basics.
