From the Island of Enchantment (Puerto Rico) comes Julio Ubilla, sci-fi fanatic and rock aficionado. Julio also enjoys the sounds of Broadway musicals and / or movie musicals. He got interested in science fiction / fantasy at the age of seven when his mother took him to see the 1996 re-release of Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope, and the rest, as they say, is history. He recently joined the local Central Florida Doctor Who Fan Club, The Guardians of Gallifrey. Apart from being a Whovian (a Doctor Who and its related spin-offs fan), he is also a Ringer (Lord of the Rings fan), a James Bond fan, a Renthead (RENT fan), a Twilighter (Twilight Series fan), a Harry Potter fan, a Marvelite (a Marvel Comics fan), and a Primeval fan.

Julio received an Associate in Arts Degree from Valencia Community College in 2008 and is currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Film from the University of Central Florida's Main Campus, to be awarded sometime in the Early 21st Century.

He is currently residing in Orlando, FL.
