Why he joined the FIU Alumni Association: As a Golden Panther, it is my duty to give back and be involved with my school. We are all one big #GoldenPantherNation. I am a member of a true FIU family. My wife has her Master’s, my twin brother has his B.A., my younger brother has his B.A. and my younger sister (the younger siblings are also twins, two sets of twins) has a B.S. and M.S. all from FIU. Being a member of the Alumni Association allows me to stay involved and give back to the school that has given so much to me.

What does FIU mean to him: FIU means home, family and the genesis of my career and professional life.
