Away from his day job, Luis is a cohort and enthusiastic partner in Method Productions, a nationally recognized, award-winning video production and motion graphics company. Most importantly, he is a deeply dedicated husband and father who loves to keep up with family antics and interests, whether it’s participating in the annual family Halloween costume theme, helping assemble experiments for the Science Olympiad, rocking out to musical performances, or conquering a fear of healthy respect for horses.
