Wilbert Toruno resides in Austin, Texas where he is the color guard director at McCallum High School Fine Arts Academy. Originally from Miami, Florida, he has been part of the marching arts for over a decade.

Outside of color guard, Wilbert enjoys the city he moved to from finding a local coffee shop, walking around downtown or by lady bird lake, getting into a new book, going on trails or hikes, and or a day in with a great film.
