Coming from modest means and surviving his encounter with cancer at 13 years old, Lisandro dreamed of one day being a leading man in Hollywood movies. First studied theater at Union High school in Tulsa, Oklahoma where he ran lights and sound and created the sets during stagecraft classes. He was too shy to act at the time. He obtained his Associates at the Tulsa Community College where he studied theater and film.

He obtained his bachelor's at the University of Tulsa with a minor in Entrepreneurship. During his time in education, he battled cancer two more times with surgeries and radiation treatments. Aside from education, he started making films when he was little and finished his first no budget feature film on his own at the age of 15 with a handheld camera. Three of his no budget movies have premiered at Cinemark by Tulsa and is quickly moving up in the professional world.
