Bodega has led a truly adventurous life filled with remarkable experiences. From  honorably serving aboard aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy, his journey has been anything but ordinary. He worked at Atari, testing iconic games like Pac-Man, and once found himself lost in the jungles of Central America for days while caving, uncovering ancient Mayan ceremonial pottery buried beneath centuries of cave dust.

 

Bodega has also dedicated time volunteering at an orphanage in South Korea and participating in medical mission trips across the Caribbean. As an entrepreneur for 27 years, he sold art across galleries, festivals, wineries, and gatherings of all kinds—spreading creativity wherever he goes. His life continues to be a tapestry of incredible adventures, with many more to come.
