“We have to take care of our community.
Sometimes you just need that extra push. We are putting family into practice. We know the tools for success and should pass them on to the next generation. How your life would be different if someone had given you a hand? Mentors are an extension of family.“ —Primos Dallas Founding Board Members, 2018 |

If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Having traveled all over the world, one of my favorite spots is Lisbon, Portugal. It's a fantastic mix of old world architecture and modern city. Its proximity to the sea, mountains, and wine country make it a wonderful place.
