Hello everyone, my name is Daniel Uribe. I was born in Bolivia but have been in the US for quiet a long time.

I’m a partner at a Financial Advisory firm. After many years in the DC area (McLean VA), my wife and I decided to move to Harrisonburg VA -- which is a growing town 2 hours from DC and the home of the JMU Dukes. We moved to Harrisonburg seeking a slow-paced town with rural character to raise our 2 kids; so far it’s going great. I still visit the DC area at least twice/month for business as I need to regularly meet with clients and prospects.

I'm new to NSHP and I've created a local group hoping to connect with other professionals in Central Virginia. Also, I’m interested in expanding my network on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/danieluribe

Hello everyone,

My name is Hugo J. Lembert from Reston, Virginia, a DC suburb located 18 miles NW of the District. I am originally from New York City and moved to Reston about 7 years. Both my parents migrated from the Dominican Republic in the late 40's and established themselves in NY. I was sent to middle and secondary school to Santo Domingo before coming back to the US. I am bilingual and bicultural and have devoted most of my career to the media industry with focus on product, business development, sales and marketing.

My interests include Film, Reading, History, World Social and Political developments and Music. Current projects very much invlove working with the Hispanic population sector, as I am eager to contribute to our advancement within mainstream media, politics and business. I am interested in meeting like-mined professionals to exchange notes and build meaningful freindships that would benefit us all.

Hello Ricardo and DC group!
My name is JP Godoy and my wife and I recently moved to NOVA from Greenville, SC. Prior to that we lived in Boston for 7 years.
I am originally from Puerto Rico and my backgound is in Journalism, food industry, staffing and Banking. Pretty diverse and random background, I know but feel that all fields have given me the ability to connect and relate with people of all backgrounds.'
I'm looking to connect with Hispanic professionals and hope to foster a mutual relationship that can help us, the ever growing Hispanic community, continue to make a positive impact in the US.
On my spare time, I am very active and passionate about politics. I worked on Obama;s campaign for over a year as a volunteer and am very happy the direction our country is taking. I enjoy reading, outdoor activities and spending quality time with my wife, family and great friends. I enjoy all foods as long as it is international. But truly miss eating alcapurias, pasteles and arroz con gandules!
I am very exicted and happy to have moved to this area. I look forward to spending time with all of you in the near fure. Thanks and feliz ano nuevo!

JP
