Luis and Jackie reside in the Dominican Republic and have been joyfully married since 2018.

Jackie, originally from New York, met Luis through business in 2012. In 2017, she made the life-changing decision to move to the Dominican Republic—pursuing both love and a shared vision of making an impact together. Though she never imagined herself living in the Caribbean, Jackie felt called to this path and embraced it wholeheartedly. Since then, she has become fluent in Spanish and now leads side by side with Luis in every area of their work.

Luis was born in Santo Domingo and grew up across various cities throughout the country. His childhood was marked by limited opportunities and the challenge of working hard to rise above the survival line. Like many young Dominicans, he dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player, but an injury at 17 closed that door. What seemed like an ending instead became a turning point. His resilience and “bounce-back” spirit allowed him to see new possibilities and pursue a future beyond what he once imagined.

Together, Luis and Jackie embrace their diverse cultural backgrounds, which—though sometimes challenging—have enriched their marriage and shaped a powerful, unified perspective on what the world needs and how they can contribute.
