Louis
Louis and his parents moved from the Southwestern part of Michigan to Detroit when Louis was 3 years old because it was a land of opportunity. That opportunistic mindset was instilled in Louis and has not left him. A graduate from Renaissance High School of Detroit and the University of Michigan, Louis has focused his attention towards making a significant impact on his hometown. Louis wants to be known as a person who does great things for his generation. As such he plans to open several businesses in the City of Detroit. When hearing of Bizdom U, he immediately knew that it was for him and is happy to be a part of the program. “The city is ready for and is in desperate need of change” and Louis believes that the leaders that are groomed and refined at Bizdom U will be those agents of change.
