Mayor Luigi Boria was born on April 23, 1958 in Caracas, Venezuela to Italian parents who had emigrated there in search of a better life. He was educated in the public school system of Caracas. After completing high school, he accepted a position with General Motors Corporation where he earned money to pay his way through college.
In 1982, Luigi graduated from Universidad Católica Andres Bello in Venezuela where he earned a degree in accounting. Upon graduation, Luigi married his college sweetheart, Graciela. They have been married for 34 years and they have two children—Alexander and Maria Lorena, and five grandchildren. In 1983, he opened his first company in Caracas, TMC-The Magic Computer. In 1989, Luigi made the decision to move to the United States and expand his business. He and his family settled in Doral, Florida where Luigi opened his second company TWC-The Wise Computer. TWC is a distributor of computers, printers, computer parts, and accessories. Twenty seven years later, TWC employs more than 30 people in Doral.
Luigi and his family have resided in Doral for over twenty seven years. For Luigi, Doral will always be home. It is this deep love for the City of Doral that first prompted Luigi to consider running for the City Council and then for Mayor of Doral.
