My Why: Luis Moreno

Luis “Louie” Moreno was born in La Jolla, California and was raised in Tijuana, Mexico and San Ysidro, California. One of 13 children, Luis grew up in the fast lane and was exposed to gang activity at a very young age. Louie’s parents decided a change was needed. At the age of 18, he and his parents moved to Kerrville, Texas seeking better opportunities.

He received his jailers license and decided law enforcement was a perfect fit for him. He went on and received his Peace Officer license in 2006. Louie enlisted in the Army National Guard 36th Infantry Division in 2007 with the intent of being able to go to college after he served his time. The Army had a different plan. Louie served a combat tour in Iraq in 2009 and served his country until 2016.

Louie currently works for the Sheriff’s Department as the Sergeant in the Support Division. Among many different jobs, one that Louie enjoys the most is courtroom security. He has proudly served the citizens of Bandera County since 2012.

Louie serves his community in many different roles. He coaches for Bandera Little League and Bandera Boys & Girls Club. He is involved with the planning of National Night Out and is active in most all community events in some aspect.

Louie serves Warriors Heart in many different capacities. He runs the merchandise shop on site and seeks out new opportunities for merchandise to go into retail storefronts. Sometimes you’ll even have him as a driver to CrossFit.

Luis is married to Christina and they have a beautifully blended family of 3: Taytum, Giovanni, and Maddox Azucena (Maddi Sue in Texan).
