Francisco Hernandez

Videographer

Francisco, or as we know him, Chico, studied film at San Jose State University where he acted as assistant director and producer on several independently produced student films.

In the summer of 2007, Chico joined the Rapid Remodel TV team to help Allen around the office and help plan the remodel project in Oakland set for winter 2007. When the Oakland project came around, Chico ran the second camera with Dan to help document the remodel that involved dropping a fiberglass pool in the backyard, expanding the master bedroom, and building a state-of-the-art master bathroom.
