"As a founding member of LUGPA, I've seen the impressive work that's been done by the organization and its members," said Reyna.

Reyna is the founder of Urology San Antonio, an integrated urology practice with 29 physicians, 200 employees, eight urology clinics and a cancer treatment facility. He led the practice as CEO for 30 years before stepping down in 2012.

Reyna and his wife, Joni, are the creators of Los Padres, a San Antonio-based non-profit dedicated to improving men's health by creating community awareness about prostate cancer, particularly the need for early detection.

Reyna attended San Antonio College and the University of Texas Pharmacy School. He completed medical school and urology residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and surgical residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
