Luis is a San Francisco native, but has moved to the East Bay area 13 years ago and worked at Renaissance for the past decade. While his heart may always stay in San Francisco, Luis is proud of his new home in Walnut Creek— with all the amenities of a big city in a small package, surrounded by world-class cuisine, shopping and entertainment, and day trips to the wine country close by.
