Today we’d like to introduce you to Christos Joannides.
Christos, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I was born on the island of Cyprus and came to Los Angeles in 1992 to attend college. I will never forget arriving at LAX for the first time and stepping out of the American Airlines terminal. It seemed so surreal to me. My childhood dream of coming to the United States had come true… It was just another typical gorgeous August afternoon in Los Angeles. The sky was as blue as can be, and the sun’s warm rays felt good on my skin after a long transatlantic flight. As I glanced over at a young stylish couple entering a waiting white limo, I knew this was the city I wanted to be a part of. There was an undeniable air of glamour, a seemingly carefree, nonchalant lifestyle that seduces so many who arrive in Los Angeles. I silently said to myself, “I am home.” I was a wide eyed 19 year old who had just finished his mandatory Greek military service and ready to embark on a new chapter of my life in the city of my lifelong dreams. I was ecstatic and petrified at the same time.
