At 19, Dustin Portillo's childhood dream came true when he joined the world-renowned Ringling Bros. Circus as a professional clown. For seven years and 3,500 shows, he entertained over 35 million people across North America. McDonald's, recognizing his exceptional talents, hired him to portray Ronald McDonald, where he made numerous appearances, including at The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. His role as Ronald McDonald eventually led to a community relations executive position at Caspers Company, a successful McDonald's franchise. Now, as a full-time speaker, Dustin brings his sense of humor and inspiring messages back to the center stage.
