He is directly related to Andre and they both were inseparable growing up along with Andre's brother Rolando. From a young age, the three were introduced to the faith. Like any teenager growing up, they all had their reservations and questions. Ultimately they all steered away from the religion. Jose was traveling on a dark path. When life just brings nothing but downfall, he turned his life to GOD and he was reintroduced to the faith again. Now he is part of an amazing church that allows him to do charitable events and missionary retreats abroad. Maribel was 15 years old when she came to NY. She grew up in the Catholic Religion back in the Dominican Republic. While growing in NY, she felt an emptiness and she turned too other religions to find that void. She turned to Buddhism & attended a mosque for 6 months to become a Muslim. Later on, she met Jose and 6 months later they were married and they moved to Virginia.
