Hugo Pinto
Local Director
Hugo began as a volunteer with CEF in 2022, serving in Good News Clubs. When the position of Local Director in the Heartland chapter became available, he felt the Lord calling him to serve in that role. Hugo has worked in children's ministries for many years with other organizations that reach young people. He also helps lead the Youth Group at his local church. Before joining CEF on staff, he and his wife managed an eBay store full time. Hugo and his wife, Karen, have been married for 23 years. They have a foster son named Julian who is 14 years old. In his spare time, Hugo enjoys playing sports, collecting baseball cards, and running a YouTube channel.
