We had the good fortune of connecting with Yoa Ruiz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Yoa, as a parent, what do you feel is the most meaningful thing you’ve done for them?
A wise pastor taught me that children spell LOVE as “T-I-M-E”. With that understanding, I try to dedicate as much time to them as I can. Children are like sponges constantly soaking up everything around them. As a parent of three, I am responsible for setting a good example for them to follow. The most important of these is showing them a genuine relationship with God, honoring my elders and my wife, having integrity in my daily affairs and loving others. Our children will do what they see their parents do, not what they say.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to develop create ideas in many different media and projects. The most recent project was for the King of Salsa Richie Ray.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
il Gabbiano Restaurant in Downtown Miami is simply the best!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My wife is my biggest supporter and confidant. I would not be half the man I am without her. My mom who acted as mom and dad in most occasions truly deserves credit for raising a boy into a man. My church and pastors have molded me into maturity and success in my life and career. THANK YOU!
