Born and raised in Houston's East End, Alfred always enjoyed acting and entertaining his friends throughout his youth, but was driven by his family to achieve academic success.

He is a licensed professional engineer in both Texas and California and worked for the Dow Chemical Company/Olin Corporation for nearly 20 years.

Alfred used the knowledge he acquired in the industry to begin writing and networking with other filmmakers. In 2014, Alfred established his film production company, ROCA PRODUCTION FILMS. Shortly after, he collaborated with SCOOT PRODUCTIONS to produce and co-direct his first feature film, entitled La Cadena. The film has been picked up for distribution and is currently airing on Amazon Prime, Tubi and other streaming platforms. Alfred continues to act and write and is set to produce and direct additional feature films in the near future.
He has been happily married to his college sweetheart Diana for 24 years. Together, they have three children, Josiah, Jaden, and Jeselle and live in Katy, TX. His family has also appeared in commercials and he has roped them into his productions as well. In his spare time, Alfred enjoys serving the community. He sits on the Board of Directors for several organizations including, Family Life Assembly of God, Katy Christian Ministries and the University of Houston Center for Mexican American & Latino(a) Studies. He is also involved in church ministry as a Youth Sunday School Teacher, participates on Mission Trips, real estate investing, fishing, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
