Hi Everyone - I've been a member of the NSHP network all of about 30 minutes or so!

I was born in NY, grew up in NJ and went to school in Boston and Wisconsin before settling down in the DC area.

I was a partner at a DC law firm until I left to start my own law firm last year. My practice areas focus on employment and employee benefits consulting and litigation, I also consult small and minority-owned businesses.

I'm glad to be a part of this community!

Greetings to all. My name is LD Herrera. My company provides IT & Internet Marketing solutions for small businesses & non-profit organizations locally and across the country. Born in Austin, I grew up in Omaha, went to school in Pittsburgh (Carnegie Mellon U) and relocated to DC 3 years ago.

I'm always looking for new clients. So, if your business buys hardware & software directly for Dell, HP, or other large providers, please consider switching to Expert Approach. We can get you the same product at the same or lower prices and you will be supporting a military family's small business and not a large corporation.

Hello everyone.
My name is Carlos De Souza and I have been a member of the NSHP network for several months but had yet to introduce myself. I was born and raised early on in Caracas, Venezuela. My family moved to Miami where I spent most of my school years. I have lived in Venezuela, Mexico, East and West Coast of the US, spent a little time in Europe and I have been in Virginia for the last nine years.

I have always worked in the restaurant/bar industry. I am currently the Food & Beverage Director at the National Gallery of Art in DC for Restaurant Associates. I have worked worked for mom & pop restaurants, mid to large size corporate chains and even co-owned a cafe in Miami.
I am interested in getting more involved in the area with other Hispanic professionals.

Hello: I'm Chris Horn, and currently I'm the Customer Education and Training Supervisor for RefWorks-COS, a company dedicated to providing a high quality web-based research management, writing and collaboration tools for the academic, government and corporate research communities.

My Hispanic connection is this: I've been traveling to Latin America for almost 30 years, for business and pleasure; and my wife is from Chile. I love speaking and studying Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

I'll look forward to further contact with this group.
Sinceremente, Chris

As Rafael said before me, it is both an honor and a priviledge to become the 51st member of the Washington Chapter. I am Puertorican by way of Cleveland/Lorain, Ohio. Would like to reach out and determine how and when we can organize an event that would bring together those of us in the Washington Area for a networking event to include figuring out how we can provide something back to the local community. We can provide a professional perspective in helping the advancement of hispanic communities especially in improving the high school graduation rates of hispanics in this area. If interested contact me directly at rick.gonzalez9@gmail.com
