Louie's triathlon career began in 2002 in Houston, but his athletic career started at a very early age with little dribblers basketball, t-ball, and flag football.  His first true love with sport was definitely basketball, and once Louie realized that he wasn’t going to be the next Michael Jordan he hung up his basketball shoes during his freshman year of college. 

After college Louie needed an athletic outlet and started running, which eventually steared his way into triathlon.  He has raced all distances, from sprint to Ironman, with multiple age group podium finishes and overall top performances.  The 70.3 distance is his favorite, and running remains his strongest of the three disciplines. 

Louie has been involved in health and fitness professionally since college graduation.  While working on his masters degree in Public Health he worked at a wellness center managing fitness programs.  Most recently he has completed a masters degree in nursing and is now currently working as a diabetic educator, counseling people on the benefits of exercise.
