Meylen is the heart and soul of our household. A former interiordesigner for Royal Caribbean International, Meylen paused her admirable andgrowing career 17 years ago to focus on the children and household due to theextensive travel that Luis had to endure in his capacities during the earlydays of his career. With our oldest son now preparing for college soon and ouryoungest daughter preparing to enter elementary school full-time, Meylen isready to get back into action!
Luis and Meyla (husband and wife) are high school sweethearts and havenow been married for 17 years. We have 3 children: Julian (16), Adalyn (13) andVivien (5). We also have 2 fur babies – Guinness, a 10 year hold StandardPoodle and Stella, a 7-month-old Doodle. Our family pictures include Guinness,Stella and Lucy, a brown standard poodle who is the most recent pet that we hadto put down due to health issues :c.
We’re a Christian family and our family hobby is traveling. We lovetraveling adventures and exposing our kids to new cultures and the beauty theworld has to offer. Our favorite country is Italy, where we often findourselves for a couple of weeks during the kids summer break. Last year wespent 2 weeks in Tuscany and this year we will be spending 2 weeks in Puglia –and we can’t wait!
Our why is family and opportunity. We have been wanting to make an investment onstarting a family business that we can all participate in together as a family.As we have been praying and searching for the right opportunity, we ran intoResting Rainbow through one of our next-door neighbors (Hassane Alaoui). WhenLuis (unexpectedly) presented the opportunity to Meyla and the kids, everyonewas so excited. We absolutely love animals, and we will be getting a chance to helppeople going through some of the most difficult times in their lifetime, we seean enormous market opportunity in our area. Having lost 2 pets in recent years,there is nothing around here like Resting Rainbow. We recall having to put ourdeceased fur baby in the trunk and driving over an hour to a questionablefacility in a not very good neighborhood. It was one of the hardest things we’ve ever done in our lifetime.
Justaround the corner from where we live in Winter Garden, there are at least adozen veterinary clinics, 2 24-hour emergency pet hospitals and 4 boarding facilities,all within a few miles radius and that are always at capacity. These arepartners that we will be working with closely as we prepare for the hopefullaunch of Resting Rainbow Winter Garden. Meylen’s mom and stepdad are retiringsoon and will help us run the business once doors are open, so Luis and Meylacan focus on partnerships and growth as we have expansion / multi-territory aspirations.
