Biography
Luis is a first-generation Cuban American exile. He graduated from the New York Military Academy and attended the Fashion Institute of Technology. The sudden and violent death of his father prevented the pursuit of a life-long dream of playing college football; and precipitated his involvement in the family business. Luis cherishes the role women have played in molding his life, beginning with his mom, Gloria.
Luis is a recipient of the Continental Newspaper "Big Apple" Man of the Year Award for his widespread involvement in activism and advocacy on behalf of victims of violent crimes families, and community service in the New York/New Jersey area. Luis has also been awarded Cuban American Man of the Year by Save Latin America, where he has served as a motivational speaker for "Reaching our Dreams", a role model program that serves grammar schools students across the tri-state area.
