About this Event

Roberto Alfaro has had a varied and exciting career, from fighting crime on horse back as a mounted police officer for the City of Hartford CT; to being a professional model, actor, salsa dancer and instructor, personal trainer, competitive body builder, mounted police instructor, motivational speaker, writer, and now as a published author with his latest memoir, "Fighting Through The Hurdles of My Life."
Although he has worn many hats in his lifetime, it's his experiences and accomplishments as a police officer that he credits most with having paved the way to all the successes he's had as an actor and model. Throughout his acting and modeling careers, he's been able to incorporate his more than two decades of police experience into many of the roles he's played on T.V., film, and on the pages of magazine ads.
But perhaps the biggest and most valuable lessons he's learned from his many years of experience in the business, is that no matter how big your dreams may be or how far away they may seem, nothing is impossible. Believe in yourself, believe in your dreams, it can happen...
