About me
"Don't let where you came from dictate who you are, but let it be part of who you become."
My name is Robert Renteria and I am the author of "From the Barrio to the Board Room," my memoir which traces my life from a childhood of poverty and abuse in one of the poorest areas of East Los Angeles, to my proud emergence as a business owner today.
"From the Barrio to the Board Room" is my way of reaching out to all the people I can't meet personally. It's smart, practical self-help advice wrapped up in the exciting and inspiring, sometimes funny, and always gripping story. Only someone who actually came from the streets, someone who knows the specific obstacles that they face, can show them how to clear their path. There's nothing that any American - Latino or otherwise - can't accomplish through persistence, hard work, heart and soul.
