“My wife Marilyn inspires me. She came to this country from communist Cuba at the age of 5, along with her four siblings and their mom. She was the middle child of five siblings and at the age of 12 she began caring for her other four siblings while her father worked three jobs to support the family. She stood behind her family cooking and caring for her siblings while her father worked. They would take turns to help their dad at 3 a.m. baking pastries in a bakery. She attended inner-city schools at a very young age in Miami learning never to back down but always keeping her faith. She is the only one in her family who graduated from college, and today she is an educator at Holy Spirit Regional Catholic School, in Huntsville, Alabama, teaching Spanish to over 350 students, pre-K through eighth grade. She is a devout Catholic woman, very engaged with the Hispanic family community and the youth. She still continues to be the pillar of support for her siblings. She inspires me and our three children with her “attitude is everything," in the midst of life's struggles and health issues (she has multiple sclerosis). She is my support, my inspiration, of 32 years.”
