He returned to El Salvador at age 21 to establish his entrepreneurial legacy, Pan Lourdes (Bakery) whose brand identity was “Served With Love.” He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Central America where he formed many of his cherished lifelong friendships.
