Rene Echevarria, born in St. Petersburg, Florida, is a Cuban-American, who has written and produced episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He submitted an unsolicited script to The Next Generation, which eventually became the episode The Offspring, where Data creates an android daughter.
He also co-wrote Trials and Tribble-ations for Deep Space Nine and was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation. He was the executive producer of Terra Nova, which I enjoyed but it only lasted for one season.
He has been nominated for two Primetime Emmys for his work on The 4400.
