Luis brings a wealth of experience in coaching through his background as a 40-year tennis coach, plus many years of experiential implementation of sales theories.

Sports has always played a major role in Luis’s life. From competing in junior and high school sports, to being a college scholarship athlete while completing his degree in education with a minor in business. He reached the pinnacle of basketball, playing in the semi-professional AAU leagues, and was invited for tryouts for the USA team to compete in the boycotted 1980 Moscow Olympics. After college, his love of sports and education lead him into teaching tennis and becoming a certified United States Professional Tennis Association coach in 1986.

During the 1980s Luis also set up and managed tennis and golf-specific retail sports businesses, and with his sales ability, entered into the highly competitive automotive industry. It is here that Luis gained valuable experience and knowledge through years of specialty training courses in sales and leasing theories, which eventually led to acquiring a new automobile dealer’s license and opening Autosave, one of the first remote car purchasing and leasing operations, a concept preceding Carvana and others by 35 years.

In 1994 Luis moved to Barbados where he started the Fuentes Tennis International Tennis Academy, as well as taking on the role of Davis Cup Captain for the Barbados team from 1996 to 2000, which at the time consisted of three FTI players including Kodi Lewis.  From 2009, Luis collaborated with Kodi on the “Tennis pon de Rock” fundraising initiative, and then with him founded Dakota-Ross to pioneer a sports-forward and experiential approach to helping our clients grow.
