Manuel Eduardo Vieira - Owner/President
I was born on the island of Pico, Azores. I immigrated to Brazil when I was 17 years old, where I completed my business degree. I am married to Laurinda Vieira and have three children. In 1972, I moved my family to the United States, where I started to work for my uncle, Antonio Vieira Tomas. In 1977 I had the great opportunity to buy his company and today my two sons take great responsibility in assisting me run the business while my daughter is a high school teacher. I'm very proud of these accomplishments and the continuing strides my family is making. I invite you to join us for a great business relationship! |
