How DeJesus got to where he is today is a fascinating story, but somewhere along the way after his theater education at Rutgers University, he met John Leguizamo, which led to directing the PBS documentary Tales from a Ghetto Klown to Latino History for Morons. In between, DeJesus has directed episodic TV for many series on the Disney Channel.
