Texas where he attended Texas A&M University. The university has been
repeatedly ranked among the nation’s top universities making it an excellent
place for Guillermo Perales to continue his education.
After studying finance to become a CPA in Mexico,

his educational studies. He opted to attend Texas A&M University’s business
program and graduated with his Master of Business Administration degree. With
two degrees in hand and an MBA, Guillermo Perales decided to create his own
business instead of seeking employment under someone else’s company.
Attending two separate educational institutes,

Guillermo Perales sees the challenges of minority
business leaders. He wants to encourage a whole new generation of Hispanic and
Latino business owners, so he co-founded programs designed specifically to
keeping children in school. Guillermo Perales decided an incentive program for
Latino children would help them stay in school and created a Certificate of
Achievement Award program for the purpose of rewarding diligent students. He is
a co-founder of the Latin American/DFW Fund.
