FOUNDER | HL Media Network
For more than three decades, my work has been about discovering the people, stories and experiences that shape our communities and creating platforms that bring those stories to life.
Over the years, Sandoval has produced more than 200 events nationwide and developed thousands of stories focused on culture, business, leadership, influence and community. Hispanic Lifestyle programming was also broadcast for many years on PBS stations across California, Oklahoma, Arizona and Texas, extending the platform’s reach into homes across multiple markets.
Today, that work continues through HL Media Network, which brings together editorial platforms, signature programs and experiences designed for how audiences discover and engage with stories today. Its portfolio includes HispanicLifestyle.com, HL | Culture & Influence, HL | Milestone, Women • Business • Wellness, Home Tu Casa and other emerging media properties.
Sandoval also relaunched Inland Valley Living, a regional lifestyle and business platform focused on the people, organizations and ideas shaping Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. With an emphasis on women, families, business and quality of life, the platform combines editorial content, digital media and in-person experiences reflecting the growth and character of the Inland Empire.
Sandoval’s career has been recognized with multiple honors, including being a two-time U.S. Small Business Administration Award recipient, along with commendations from community, state and federal organizations for his work as a producer, publisher, photographer and storyteller.
In Remembrance
Our efforts are dedicated to women who have inspired us to be better people: my mother, Mary; my sister, Virginia; and my daughter-in-law, Christina. You are in our hearts and thoughts every day.
