Lou completed business courses at Northwestern University before receiving an MBA from the University Of Pittsburgh School Of Business and a JD from the University Of Pittsburgh School Of Law. Currently, Lou is a Senior Risk Consultant with a worldwide insurance broker.

He also served as the Parent Representative to the Board of Southminster Child Care. Later, Lou became a Director of the Board of the Westminster Nursery School and Child Development Center. Lou completed a full term in that position and was later asked to, and served on, a search committee for a new Nursery School Director. More recently, Lou was appointed by County Councilman Vince Gastgeb to the Allegheny County Citizens Election Advisory Board, assessing the benefits of electronic voting machines. Lou has regularly attended school board meetings since 2002, the year his daughter began kindergarten in USC.
