Louis graduated from Temple University’s School of Business and Management in 1985 and received his MBA from Philadelphia University in 1994. Louis had several passions in his life - on the personal side his family and Faith in God were always his number one priority, but Lou was also a very competitive individual. Sports were a passion when he was younger and later in life it became business, where he was a respected technology leader for some of the largest companies in the world. Lou was also a professor, helping to shape the minds of thousands of students in his beloved hometown city of Philadelphia.
