Originally from Amherst, Massachusetts, Paco attended Brown University and earned a degree in Theatre Arts.

Paco is married to writer/director Kate Marks and is an associate with her production company See Films. Kate is a recipient of the prestigious 2020 Academy Nicholl Fellowship for her feature screenplay The Cow of Queens.
