Born in Egypt, Fouad had a very successful life, attending Cairo University for studies in accounting and actuarial science. He worked for Merrill Lynch for approximately 30 years and became a certified public accountant during that time. Despite his professional achievements, he preferred to live simply and made sure that first and foremost his family walked in the light of Christ and the Church. He devoted himself to his wife of 28 years Violette, his son, Mina and his daughter, Mariana. He was known for his kindness and ability to befriend anyone with whom he crossed paths.
