The Teacher
Whether he's delivering a lesson to engaged students or taking them on a trip overseas, Rivera connects with his students the way a comedian connects with his audience. He considers his kids to be the most important audience he faces.
"Comedy is about finding common ground and reaching the audience in a personal and meaningful way," Rivera says. "Teaching is no different, except the rewards continue long after the laughter stops."
