Key West"

Meet Jose Tapia, a cast member of Real World - Key West. Twenty-year-old Jose was raised in Brooklyn, surrounded by drugs, violence and the influences of the "wrong crowd." Jose found a way to break free of those negative influences. He now lives in Sunrise, Florida, where he is in his junior year at Florida State University.
