About Keynote Speaker Carlos Conejo
Background
Was born in San Jose, Costa Rica. He emigrated to the United States with his family when he was six. The proverbial immigrant story, his father arrived a year earlier with $79 in his pocket and the name and address of a relative. Carlos grew up in shadows of the Los Angeles skyscrapers. Carlos emerged from the shadows of the Los Angeles skyscrapers, a resilient figure navigating his surroundings with grace. As a studious individual, he steered clear of trouble, mastering the art of swift escapes from rowdy gang members. Little did he know, this skill would later transform into a valuable asset as he sprinted onto the track, showcasing his speed and determination during his high school track career.
Education
He graduated from high school and ventured into Pepperdine University, a prestigious Christian institution known for its affluent student body, including wealthy kids and celebrities—a stark cultural shift for a kid from the barrio. Despite facing numerous challenges in assimilating, he persevered and earned a bachelor’s degree in business. To support himself financially, he worked on-campus as a security guard, a role that not only helped cover his tuition but also provided valuable insurance benefits, making his academic journey possible.
