Lujan retired from the San Antonio Fire Department in 2012 and has continued to lead Yash & Lujan (Y&L) Consulting which has grown from a small IT business to a company with over 350 employees. As a successful business leader in his community, John is often asked to speak to students at local schools about the opportunities available in the technology field. He is proud to have placed many young people in high paying technology jobs with continued career advancement possibilities.

His mother served many years as an educator in the public school system before retiring as principal of Gallardo Elementary School in the Southside School District.
