Luis lives with his wife, their three beautiful children, and their wonderful Labrador Retriever in Central Arizona. Luis currently works as a Project Engineer in the aerospace and aviation industry. His first published book came as an inspiration while he was on parental leave taking care of his newborn daughter.He grew up in a small farming community in the southwest corner of Arizona. He grew up a sort of “jack of all trades.” With a passion for soccer, artistic talent, an aptitude in reading and writing, and a large curiosity and proficiency in math and science. Through high-school he worked several jobs around the farm; as a field-hand, packaging produce in a cooler/warehouse, driving and operating tractors and heavy farm equipment, and tutoring k-8th grade children of other farm workers at the local learning center. Through college he worked for a mechanic shop and picked up paid college gigs and student engineering research projects.Luis still lives in Arizona and enjoys exploring the bountiful outdoor experience that the state has to offer; backpacking through the canyons and waterfalls along the Colorado River, camping in the northern forests, hiking through the desert and red rock mountains, kayaking and swimming in the many lakes and rivers, and spending the warm Arizona evenings playing in an indoor soccer league that he and his friends have maintained for over a decade. He seems to always be looking for ways to stay busy while learning new skills to share with his family and friends. From building a camping trailer in his garage, to pouring concrete countertops in his family’s kitchen, raising a bountiful garden every spring, and writing children's books; you can be sure to find him always thinking about his next project.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
