Israel Hernandez: “I’m a coach operator for VTA. I was born and raised in San Jose, California and my parents are from Guadalajara, Mexico. I did not see myself being in this profession originally. I’m a big soccer fan so I thought I’d go pro one day. I have two kids and I’ve been at VTA for a few years.”
