Fernandez’ presentation and book, “Humbled by the Journey: Life Lessons for My Family And Yours,” tells the story of how at the age of 12 he came to the United States from Cuba penniless, and in adulthood built dozens of successful companies, selling three companies in excess of $1.5 billion within the last year. He has contributed more than $100 million to charitable causes during the past two decades.

Lecture attendees will receive a complimentary signed copy of his book.  For information, contact Maria Gutierrez Martin of UF’s College of Education at 352-273-4144 or mmartin@coe.ufl.edu.
