Tutan reyes biography definition

Our Founder: Tutan Reyes
Tutankhamen (Tutan) Reyes knows what it is like to have a strong desire for a college education, as well as the fear that his family’s financial situation would render such a goal impossible.  Reyes was raised in Jamaica, Queens by a single mother who was driven to help her son pursue both his athletic and his academic goals. 

As a youth, Reyes had two vastly different dreams for his future: he wanted to play professional football, and he fantasized about putting on a business suit and attending important meetings in a gleaming city skyscraper.  As a child growing up in the inner-city he didn’t know which fantasy was less realistic. 

Despite the odds, Reyes earned All-Queens honors at August Martin High School and was selected to the Coaches All-City Football Team in 1994
